Wicks
Wide selection of quality wicks to choose from! / Section
18


Important Note:
The burn rate is the amount of wax consumed per hour (in grams). Burn rates are based on testing performed with straight paraffin wax with no other additives. Certain types of waxes including low-shrink "One Fill" container waxes, Vegetable waxes and Candle Gel may require larger sizes than the charts suggest. The wick size suggestions in the chart below are only estimates and are provided as a general guideline or starting point. Your results will vary greatly depending on brand, type and melt point of wax, additives, fragrance, dye, container shape & size, burning conditions, etc.
*We can only offer recommendations as to wick sizes and applications, but we cannot guarantee any certain wick to work in a certain application because of too many variables involved. The only way to determine the appropriate wick selection is by experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to determine the best wick for your candles! / Visit

RRD COTTON CORED GERMAN WICKS:
From the makers of the LX series, these are a round braided cotton cored wick treated with a special NST2 treatment designed to burn better in vegetable waxes. These wicks are able to consume viscous materials without clogging or drowning. They are made with controlled braid tensions and they burn standing straight with only a slight bend or curl at the very tip. They are known for having a consistant quality and maintaining a predictable flame height. Wax primed, pre-cut and tabbed with 20mm round, 6mm neck tabs (unless otherwise noted).
