Description
Waxed candle wicks are a must-have item that can be used to make any types of candle with any type of wax such as beeswax, soy wax, palm or paraffin, carnauba or candelilla wax. Candle wicks can be customized to different sizes or shapes, tailoring them according to specific candle types, sizes, and purposes. They usually come pre-waxed to ensure an even burn and are made from natural cotton hence, they are environment friendly.
Even Burning : A properly sized and positioned wick promotes even wax consumption and prevents tunneling, ensuring that the candle burns uniformly from edge to edge.
Flame Stability : The wick's construction and design influence flame stability, preventing flickering, smoking, or excessive sooting during burning.
Burn Time : The choice of wick affects the candle's burn time, with larger wicks typically producing larger flames and faster burning rates, while smaller wicks yield slower and longer-lasting burns.
Sooting and Residue : High-quality wicks minimize sooting and residue buildup, resulting in cleaner burning candles and reduced maintenance requirements.
Safety : Properly sized wicks promote safe candle burning by minimizing the risk of overheating, excessive flame height, and fire hazards.
Directions for Using a Candle Wick
Select & Prepare : Choose a wick that matches the diameter and type of candle you are making, then trim the wick to the appropriate length based on the candle's container height, typically leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the wax surface.
Place : Center and secure the wick in the candle container using a wick sticker, adhesive, or hot glue, ensuring it remains straight and upright during pouring and setting.
Pour & Cure the Candle : Carefully pour melted wax into the container. Allow it to cool and cure completely before trimming the wick to the desired length and lighting it for the first time.
Maintenance : Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each subsequent use to prevent mushrooming, excessive flame height, and carbon buildup, so that the candle can continue to burn in a safe manner.
