pre dipping wicks

[cdanderson]

Those of you who sell alot of candles...do you pre-dip the wicks before pouring the candle ?

[JohnK and Sheri]

We do not prime the wicks in our candles. IMO priming the wicks is unnecessary and a waste of time. I also think primed wicks are somewhat unattractive on the shelf.
All that said, there are some who feel priming is absolutely needed.
Test your mold both ways and see if you can tell the difference. We sure can't.

Thank you. When I have tested I didnt find any difference either.

Made them for years w/o priming the wicks. However, in competition (Honey & Wax Shows) they want to see the wicks coated.

That is interesting Sheri. I prime my wicks. I think they look better primed...Interestin how beauty is in the eye of the beholder....too cool
