Wicks for candle making

The wick is an essential element when making a candle. Its function is to allow the wax to reach the flame and keep it burning. It is important to choose the right wick size, as a wick that is too thin can be drowned by the wax, while a wick that is too thick will not have enough fuel to keep it burning.

What is the wick for?

The wick is the engine of your candle . The wick is what makes the candle work by bringing the wax to the flame and keeping it burning. When the wax is heated, it turns into a liquid that fuels the flame through the wick. For the candle to stay lit, it needs liquid wax and ambient air. The wick therefore plays a crucial role in the candle's combustion process.

There are many types of wicks, including waxed wicks, coiled wicks, and wooden wicks. Waxed wicks are wrapped in wax, perfect for quick lighting, while wooden wicks emit a pleasant crackling sound as they burn. Coiled wicks are the most common and are primarily used in molded candles. Whichever type of wick you choose, it's important to be careful not to use a wick that's too thin or too thick to achieve the best burn for your candle.
