What to do when your silicone moulds are leaking wax! - Candle making tips for beginners

[@ncarolinafan042]

What wicks do you use for your mold candles? I've tried a handful and although I feel most customers don't burn the molded candles as much, they all just seem to burn too fast - especially for small diameter projects (especially the zinc core wicking roll I got - seems to burn really quickly).

Hi there, I use ACS wicks. You really need to experiment with different wick types to get one that will work with the size of the pillar candle that you make. Zinc core wicks would melt too fast/burn too hot for pillars. Yes most customers will not burn the pillar candles but for those that do, you need to make sure they burn correctly. Hope this helps :)
