What kind of wick should you use to make a beeswax pillar candle, 2'' in diameter?

Question

The wax is actually 50/50 paraffin beeswax. Current wick not working!

Answer 1

Use size #3 square-braided cotton wick.

I'm still looking around a little to see if anyone addresses that specific blend.

I found this site with a cute candle-making design that has nothing to do with wicks. http://www.cajuncandles.com/freedominstructions.html

Okay, here's a really informative site.

I've noticed that most instructions aren't recommending a 50/50 blend, but they don't say exactly why. You might be in for some experimentation.

Good luck and have fun.
