    I recommend using a thick needle to thread the wick. Even the platic ones for lil like canvas knit work perfect! That's what I use.

    Thank you for the detailed information on your video. I do have a question about wicks. I am new to candle making and starting with pillar candles. I am using American Soy Wax for pillar candles and I am stuck in regards to the wicks that I should use to test my candles. Do the wicks have to be specific to the branding of the wax or I can get the 100% cotton rolled up wick from any candle company? I understand the wick will vary depending on the mould but do you have a recommendation of which wicks to start with ? Thanks

    Great candles but how do they burn? I only like candles when they burn up clean en don't like it when there is wax left. That is why I don't make this type of candles, only makes candles in glass and test them really well to burn up with a minimum of wax left.
