    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

      I just did learn from listening to you that I need to get Piller Soy Wax - makes it easier to demold and it dries harder than the container soy wax. The Soy wax I purchased said it was for both - though I did feel that it is pretty soft and very greasy or wet feeling. How do you stop that? That's what happened to my first one. It sweated in the bubble wrap I had put it in. So I left it out. Your thoughts?
