I love those vessels where did you get them? What size

[@IrishQ76]

You can use the clothpins as wick sitters. Put the wick thru the center of the clothpin and pull the wick and clip with the the clothpin. They are cheap and sterdy. Plus if they get to dirty you can toss them. Think either Black Tie Barns or Memory Box Candle Co shows that method.

[@viewsofayona]

Yes, I am aware of that method but it did not work because the clothpins were way too small for that vessel. I also did not want to use two for just one wick. Way too much work 4 me and they still move. Thanks though!

[@IrishQ76]

@@viewsofayona just trying to help. I guess I never noticed they them moving because I use a pancake funnel to pour my candles. I'm lazy and want to get candles made faster than pouring them from a pitcher and cleaning up messes. Lol

Where do you get your wax? Have you tried hive and honey wax?
