stacien Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Does anyone know what size LX is equivalent to a CD 12 and a CD 18? Those are the two sizes I use for tins and my jars I wanted to try an LX out. I didn't want to waste one by guessing. I know a lot of you use the LX's.

sugarysweet95 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What size jars are the cd12 and cd18 for? I generally go by the diameter the candle will be to choose my wick, see how it works and then go up or down as appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 I was just going to test it on a 6oz tin for now which I generally use the CD18. I want to see how the wick burns. The CD12's are for a silouette retangular jar by anchor hocking. I just want a round about estimate to start off with since I have tried every wick but the LX as ironic as that sounds. I use GB 415 soy no additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryk Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 In thinking about this, IMO I would try the LX26 for the tin and maybe the 22 for the other but I would test the heck of that rectangular jar. If its the one I'm thinking of its a pretty high jar - and the LXs can behave a bit erratically in deep containers. That said you can fine tune the LXs between the 18, 20, 21, and 22 if you need to. This is just at looking at specs for the CD vs. LX plus a bit of experience with the LXs in soy - but I have not used your particular brand of soy. Anyway, HTH a little - maybe to get you at least started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I use vegetable wax, in most of my 6 oz tins an LX18 does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
