I used to make some paraffin candles and went through the whole learning curve with wicks then. Now I have loads of free beeswax to make my own candles from. Anyone care to point me toward a good place to start with wicks for the beeswax?

I have been making 10" beeswax dipped tapers for sometime. They are 3/4" at the thickest point. 2/0 wicking works well. I purchase 2/0 wicking at http://www.candlewic.com/

Thanks Verwood! I have never made dipped candles before, but would love to someday!
I followed nappers advice and when where he said, did what they said. Total flop that was! Napper needs to stick to skunks and worms!! :D:D Those he's good at!! :p
Maybe I need to go to Dear Abby or sompin??? :)
