FAQs

What type of wax is this wick best suited for?

This wick is specifically optimized for use with stearin candle wax to ensure reliable performance and a steady burn.

What size candle moulds can I use with this wick?

It is ideal for moulded candles with a finished diameter of approximately 50–70 mm.

How long is the wick on one roll?

Each 100 g roll contains approximately 80 meters of wick.

Can I use this wick for container candles?

This wick is designed for moulded candles. Its performance in container candles may vary, and it is not specifically recommended for them.

Is this wick pre-tabbed?

No, this wick is supplied as a continuous roll and does not come with pre-attached sustainers. You will need to secure it to the mould base yourself.

How do I prepare the wick before pouring wax?

Cut the wick to the desired length, secure it to the center of the mould base using a wick sticker or wax, and ensure it is taut and centered.

Troubleshooting

Wick does not stay centered

Use a wick centering tool or ensure the wick sticker is firmly adhered to the mould base before pouring wax.

Uneven burn or tunneling

Verify the wick is centered and that the candle mould diameter is within the recommended range (50-70mm). Ensure stearin wax is used.

Flame is too small or too large

Adjust the wick length by trimming it slightly shorter if too large, or ensure sufficient length if too small. Re-center the wick if necessary.

Wick is difficult to cut

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for clean cuts. Ensure the wick is not tangled.
