Flat wicks for poured and molded candles

This flat wick is perfectly suited for making beeswax or vegetable wax candles. It is also compatible with paraffin.

Thanks to its adjustable length, it is suitable for container candles, molded candles and tapers.

Position the wick correctly: respect the direction of the fibers

After cutting to the desired length, immediately make a small slipknot at one end: this part will form the tip of the candle.

Also, make sure to orient the wick correctly: the V-shaped structure on the flattened side should always be open towards the tip of the candle, in order to ensure even combustion.

The advantages of coiled wicks

Coiled wicks offer an ideal solution for craftsmen and creators seeking versatility, economy and control in their creations.

• Economical: their price is more advantageous, ideal for reducing the production budget.
• Flexibility: you can cut the strand to the desired length, suitable for your creations.
• Customization: possibility of pre-coating the wicks for better combustion control.

Usage tips

For poured candles, dip the wick into the melted wax, let it dry, then repeat the process 1 to 2 times. Once the wick is stiff, insert it into a round wick holder with a hole and tighten it using flat-nose pliers.

For molded candles, insert the wick into the opening of the polycarbonate mold, then pull it outwards before placing a sealing cap. For a silicone mold, carefully pierce the bottom with a needle and thread the wick through.

Which drill bit holder should I choose based on the diameter of my drill bit?

After internal testing, we established the most suitable combinations of wick holders and wick types. These combinations guarantee stable, even, and safe burning, regardless of the wax used.

If you have difficulty making your choice, we invite you to consult our guide to choosing the right candle wick.

The wicks are sold in 5-meter or 50-meter packs.

It is important to do some testing before you start making candles in order to adjust the diameter and combustion according to your own formulations.
