For those who have used this with soy wax, what diameter container do these wicks work well in?

I use mine with soy wax in a 8oz mason jar (about 2 1/2") and it's slightly too small. Once it gets low and I've burned it long enough ( about 6 hours) it finally catches up and creates a full pool.

I used these in soy wax jar candles with great success. They burn with almost no smoke and very evenly.

No, sorry, the bottom is domed so to fit in a holder to melt scented wax. The wax won't spill. Try a petri dish, or a soap dish.

I think you'd better get the #7. The smaller wicks don't burn hot enough to melt the beeswax.

I use raw nuts in the oil expeller but roasted would work great as well. Sunflower seeds don't even have to be shelled. It is an amazing device and I really enjoy my walnut oil. The YouTube videos are very helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLhdU0xW-Q Make sure that the end cap isn't closed too tightly making the discard back up and compact inside. It turns into cement (almost literally) and is difficult to clean. Also, keep the wick clipped short so that you don't have too much smoking. It takes a bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort!

Lisa, I haven't purchased this wax, but my guess is the melting point is 130 degrees, which is the dividing line between "low melting point" for containers and "high melting point" for pillars. You've probably found this out by now. You can add a hardener additive to make this work for pillar candles. $18 for 10lbs of wax is a little at the high end if you're going to be making any number of candles.

I replaced a wick by trimming a zippo wick. I also trimmed a zippo flint to fit for my true utility firestash keyring lighter

Suposedly the wick should work but the steel carrier is different. Check milestairs for more info . They have a whole link on it . Hope it helps you .

The wick is about 12 inches long. It reaches to the bottom of a wine bottle. They work great and last a long time.

I see no reason why they would not! The only problem is keeping the wick centered. I am using sticky tacks to keep the wicks attached to the bottom of the glass. Sometimes the wick will 'un-stick' when pouring the wax into the glass. Also keep the wicks in a cool dry place! They seem to absorb moisture.

Spray tube from WD 40 or any spray lube, like silicone or such. Also, a stir stick like they have a Starbucks might be the right size. I haven't checked.

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

This wax is meant for making container candles and not pillars. This is because the wax is soft and flows when the candle is burning, if left outside a container it'll spill everywhere and make a mess. For pillars, try paraffin or palm wax, or some other pillar blend wax.

Hi John,Satin Smooth has their own wax in terms of variety the 14 oz. containers will fit easy in this warm up contraction. If you are looking to purchase this warmer the 14 oz. is the correct fit for this warmer. Happy waxing! Hope this was of some use to you, sorry just checked my e-mail.

What type/brand did you use? I can't make soy work and I've bought three kinds so far.

I use a single warmer made by Gigi that seems to be compatible with most of the 14oz tins available. I don't know about the one you have. Are the warmers larger or smaller than the 14oz tins? If larger I have seen empty 18oz tins available, if smaller I have no idea and have never seen them. Hope this helps.
