Inserting the Wick

Make sure your mold is dry, clean and free from any oil or debris.

You'll need to poke a small hole at the very bottom of the mold to put the wick through. Use an ice pick, awl or small knife. You want the smallest hole possible to still be able to get the wick through.

Take your primed wick and stick it through the bottom of the mold, leaving about 3/4" on the bottom.
