Below is a candle wick chart showing the manufacturer's suggested wick burn rate and their suggested application. The burn rate is only offered as a guide. Test burning is the recommended and best way to obtain the most accurate results. |
|
Cotton Core |
|
Cotton core wicking is for applications such as votives, pillars & containers. Cotton core wick produces the hottest flame of all cored wick & will help control carbon buildup. These wicks are constructed of 100% natural fibers. |

HTP (High Temperature Paper) |
|
The HTP series of wicks fuses the burn & self-trimming advantages of a flat cotton wick with interwoven cotton fibers to increase rigidity. The result is a fantastic, multifunctional wick with the structural strength of a paper core wick, but the performance of a flat wick. Works well in paraffin, vegetable waxes, and gel. |

Their open construction & chemical treatment process make them an excellent choice for waxes that are highly viscous when melted, like beeswax & vegetable wax. Square wick is designed to give you a curl when it is burned to minimize carbon buildup. This wick is constructed of 100% natural fibers & chemically treated to improve burn qualities. |

CD Series Wicks |
|
This wick combines the benefits of a self-trimming wick with the rigidity found in cored wicks. The wick comes out of the candle in an upright position and bends at the tip towards the outside of the flame. It combusts completely in the "glow" zone with the highest temperature and exposure to oxygen, making this a true self-trimming wick, leaving less carbon (mushroom) behind and less smoking! CD wicks are specialty wicks with interwoven paper threads. This wick will improve the burn of solid scented, solid color, votive, container and pillar candles. |
