How long is the wick provided?

The wick is supplied as a 3-meter length in a 100 g pack.

What color is the wick?

The product colour is white.

What is the thickness of the wick?

The wick has a thickness suitable for beeswax plates of approximately 2-3 mm.

Does the wick come with beeswax sheets?

No, this product is for the candle wick only. Beeswax sheets need to be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Wick not burning evenly or producing a large flame

Ensure the beeswax sheet was rolled tightly and evenly. Check that the wick is centered and not buried too deep within the wax. Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before lighting.

Wick is difficult to roll into the beeswax sheet

Make sure the beeswax sheet is at a workable temperature (not too cold and brittle, not too warm and soft). Ensure the wick is laid flat along the edge before rolling.

Candle goes out shortly after lighting

The wick may be too short, or the beeswax sheet might be too thick for proper wax draw. Try using a slightly longer wick or ensure the beeswax sheet is within the recommended 2-3 mm thickness range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for rolled beeswax candles, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Flat design facilitates easy integration into beeswax sheets for neat rolling.
  • Provides a clean and steady burn, enhancing candle quality.
  • Suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
  • Generous 3-meter length offers good value for multiple projects.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for rolled beeswax candles; may not be suitable for other candle types.
  • Thickness compatibility is limited to beeswax sheets of 2-3 mm.
  • Requires users to purchase beeswax sheets separately.
  • Sold as a single 3m wick, which might be insufficient for very large projects without reordering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, unroll the 3-meter wick and cut it to the desired length for your beeswax candle project. For rolled beeswax candles, place the wick along the edge of a beeswax sheet (approximately 2-3 mm thick) before rolling the sheet tightly around it.

Compatibility: This wick is specifically designed for use with rolled beeswax candles and is best suited for beeswax sheets between 2 mm and 3 mm thick. It is not recommended for poured candles or beeswax blends that do not form firm sheets.

Care: As a cotton wick, it requires no special care before use. Once a candle is made, standard candle care applies: always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting, burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
