Soy Candles and Double Wicking

It's Friday~! Today will be a busy day!

The weather here here for the next few days is going to mild.. We are in a indian summer it feels like. As we approach 80 degrees today and tomorrow.. it will be a great time to get outside and do some unfinished projects.

Today I want to talk a little about Soy Candles and double wicking in larger jars. The advantages to doing this is that you achieve a maximum scent throw in a short period of time.. Most people like the idea of smelling their candle right away. As soy burns cooler, it is important to have adequate wicks. Having two wicks also means you get rid of those hang ups on the sides of the jar..

The correct time for burning a jar candle is 1 hr for each diamater inch of jar.. Which means if your jar width is 4 inches .. It should take up to 4 hours to achieve a melt pool clear across the jar. Sometimes this it is sooner, but this is a good rule of thumb to use.

I have had no luck with single wicking a larger jar.. What happens is you have place such a large wick to get it to burn all the way across , and sometimes when doing this it will smokes like crazy.. so I try to avoid that!

I hope this little bit of info is useful
