rachf19 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hey guys, I'm about to start experimenting w/ my first container candle, I've only made pillars and votives so far. Candlewic sent me a sample of their CBL-129, firgured I would give it a try... I've got a few wide mouth 24 oz mason jars laying around, so that's what I'm going to use. I'm going to pour wickless, poke my hole w/ skewer, stick different wicks in to try. I've got a few different kids of wicks, and am not sure precisely where to start. I'm thinking to start w/ an LX-21, paper core 60-44-18, maybe throw a zinc in there... Am I on the right track?Any help, advice and wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!!! TIA:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Is this a vegetable wax or paraffin? And what is the diameter of your container?If the jar is just under 3 inches wide, I'd say start with a 60c for veg. wax or a 60z for paraffin. Might have to wick up to 62 depending on the fragrance. If the jar's smaller, I'd start with a 51c for veg or a 51z for paraffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
