Pillar Wicks 50m

$22.00
Tax included.

Our premium pillar wicks are specially designed for use in pillar and mould candles, offering a clean, consistent burn with minimal smoke and soot. Made from high-quality braided cotton, these wicks are pre-waxed for easy handling and reliable ignition. Suitable for a range of wax types including soy, paraffin, and blended waxes, they're a trusted choice for candle makers looking for dependable performance batch after batch. As wick performance can vary depending on your specific wax and fragrance blend, we recommend conducting your own burn tests to determine the ideal size for your project.

Please note: the pillar/mould diameters listed above are provided as a general guide only. Because results can vary depending on the specific wax and fragrance/oil combination used, we strongly recommend performing your own wick tests for each new blend before committing to a full batch, to ensure the best possible burn performance.

Usage Recommendations


1. Wick Trimming
Trim wick to approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) before each burn to ensure a clean, stable flame and minimize
soot.

2. Burn Testing
Always perform a full burn test with your specific wax blend, fragrance load, and dye before mass
production. Factors such as wax viscosity, fragrance type, dye concentration, and environmental conditions
can significantly affect wick performance.

3. Wick Centering
Ensure the wick is centered in the mold or container to achieve an even melt pool and prevent tunneling.

4. Multi-Wicking
For candles exceeding 70 mm in diameter, consider using two or more wicks. Formula: Diameter ÷ Number
of Wicks + 6 mm ≈ wick size.

5. Pouring Temperature
For optimal adhesion between wax and wick, pour wax at the recommended temperature for your specific
wax type (typically 55 – 70 °C for paraffin, 45 – 55 °C for soy wax)
