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 correct size wick, as a wick that is too thin can be flooded with wax, while a wick that is too thick will not have enough fuel to power it.

What is the wick used for?

The wick is the engine of your candle . The wick is what allows the candle to work by bringing the wax to the flame and keeping it burning. When the wax is heated, it turns into a liquid which feeds the flame using the wick. For the candle to stay lit, it is necessary to have liquid wax and ambient air. The wick therefore plays a crucial role in the burning process of the candle.

There are many types of bits, including waxed bits, coil bits, and wooden bits. The waxed wick is wrapped in wax, perfect for quick lighting, while the wooden wick emits a pleasant crackle as it burns. Spool wicks are the most common and are primarily used in molded candles. Regardless of the type of wick you choose, it is important to be careful not to use a wick that is too thin or too thick in order to achieve the best burn for your candle.
