I am new to candle making and was wondering just how do you determine the jar size? Do you measure the top opening of the jar or the widest point of the jar?

When determining the diameter of your jar you want to make sure that you will be able to get a full melt pool at the widest point of the jar. Therefore you should use a wick which will be able to burn the diameter of the widest point. All of our recommendation charts have a wide range of recommendations for each jar diameter. We recommend starting somewhere in the middle of these recommendations and then testing larger or smaller wicks as needed.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

Sorry this blog has been less than exciting we've been a little slow starting it up.  My name is Jessica and I will be doing the posting for Wick It.  We recieved a comment from Judy looking for some information on natural wax/wick combinations. 

Our PREMIER 700 and SUPERIOR 800 series are great for natural waxes.  They tend to solve many of the problems associated with harder to burn natural waxes while having less soot and mushrooming. We offer samples of these which you can request on the website. 

Anyway I'm sure it would be useful for everyone to see some suggestions on wicking soy waxes along with results you have come up with.  Just make a comment to this entry and it will be posted. 

Also, if there are any other suggestions for topics I will make an entry for the topic so that people can comment with each other. 

Jessica
