Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just recently started making candles and it's been a lot of fun. Lots of ups and downs in this learning process, but these wicks have been great with every candle. I'm using 8oz straight sided jars and they are perfect. Some of the negative reviews I believe are due to not researching enough. As for not standing straight while pouring the wax, that's why they make wick centering devices that hold the wick still and keep them centered while you pour. (Shown in pic) I also glue mine to the bottom, or they make wick sticker things to hold them down. The soot problems people seem to have could be wrong wick size with wrong size jar etc... So many things could be causing that having nothing to do with the quality of these wicks. If I've learned anything in this process is that candle making is an art, and getting things right takes a lot of testing with a lot of different variables. I am using soy wax gb444 with the 8oz jars and for me, these wicks have been great. Slow steady burn.
