Wood Wick - No 2 - 7mmW x 150mmL
- Burns Clean
- Has Excellent Hot Throw
- No Wick Trimming between burn cycles
- Is Manufacturing Friendly
- High Tolerance to Wax Formulation Variations
- Extinguishes quickly
We recommend using two wicks to achieve the ideal flame size for a particular application. Two wicks will increase the liquid wax supply for combustion. Mixing 2 different wick widths is also a great way of achieving the ideal performance, as it allows you to fine tune the wick sizing.

How to manufacture candles using Wood Wicks
- Pour wax over top of wood when filling container to provide fuel for first burn.
- Wood wicks burn the best when the candle is manufactured with a flat top.
- Wood wicks work best when candle is completely cool before burning.
- When manufacturing a candle it is best to have 6mm of wood above the wax to start.
- You may use 1 wood wick or, if the flame is too small, 2 wood wicks.
- For 2 wicks you may use any combination of sizes.
- The first wood wick creates the burn pool the second controls the flame size.
- Use a paper clip or similar device to hold 2 wicks together until wax is cooled.
- No wick trimming necessary

All suggestions are only starting points for your test burning Research & Development. All candle wick selections must be thoroughly test burned from start of life to end of life for safest evaluation. There is no substitute for thorough test burning due to the many unpredictable natural variations in all of the components and formulas possible in candle manufacturing. CS accepts no liability or responsibility in their customer’s wick selection. It is solely the responsibility of CS customers to choose the correct wick for their candle.
