The right wick for you

Wicking your candle is perhaps the most important part of candle making, but is also thought to be one of the most difficult aspects.

With candle wicks come in various sizes it is important to choose the correct one!

Your wick size all depends upon the diameter of your chosen container which can help to achieve the following

Consistent flame size

Minimal or no blooming (carbon deposits)

Consistent moderate container temperature

Well-formed wax pool with no dripping

Here we have our Wick Size Guide Chart to help to work out the correct size wick based upon your container size!

Which Wicks for which wax?

Wick Sustainers

Our Wick Sustainers are used to hold the wick in place in a freestanding pillar, container, or tealight candle.

Simply thread the wick through the hole and crimp using pliers to secure the tab to the wick.

Our sustainers have a 3.6mm high neck, 3mm diameter neck hole suitable for larger wicks

Be sure to secure the wick to your container using our wick glue dots!
