Candle Wicks For Paraffin Candles | 50 Wicks

Wicks for candles in containers mounted on a support

Our LX Series Wick is a solid flat braided wick made from pure ring spun cotton yarn. Further stabilised with rigid structure threads for easy wax pouring. Recommended for paraffin waxes. It is designed to improve burning of scented and coloured container, votive and pillar candles. The LX Series offers a reduced afterglow, smoke and soot. Self-trick wick position that minimises or eliminates carbon. (mushrooming). The consistent flame helps ensure that glass containers don't overheat on one side and that pillars don't 'tunnel' or leak out the side of the candle. Our wicks are supplied pre-cut to 120 mm, pre-waxed and are fitted with a 15 mm metal sustainer.

This size chart is a rough guide - different waxes, fragrance and colours all effect the wicking of the candle. Trial and error is the only way to ensure correct wicking.

Our advices

To use a coated wick on a base, pour 2mm of liquid wax into your container and immediately add your coated wick to the bottom to hold it. So after 15 seconds, your wick will be perfectly fixed in the wax. Then fill your container, leaving 7 mm of wick on the surface.

Remember, depending on the dosage and type of wax and / or dye, it is important to perform tests to define the right wick suitable for your candles. In case of difficulty in your choice, we invite you to consult our guide to choose a candle wick.
