Season 2, Episode 2: How to Wick Your Candle Jars
Today's podcast will discuss how to properly wick your candle jars!
Available on iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Podcast, and all of your favorite platforms.
Listen on YouTube at @fleurtywick
EPISODE NOTES:
Wicking a candle jar properly is crucial for ensuring that your candle burns cleanly and efficiently. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Choose the Right Wick Size
Diameter of the Jar: The size of the wick depends on the diameter of the candle jar. Wicks come in various sizes, and using one that's too small or too big can lead to tunneling or sooting.
Wax Type: Different waxes burn differently. For instance, soy wax generally requires a larger wick compared to paraffin wax of the same diameter.
Candlescience has a great Wick Guide to use as a reference!
