PremiumCraft Square Braid Cotton Candle Wick – #4

Description

Square braid wicks were originally designed for the viscosity of beeswax
candles, however, they can still be used for soy and paraffin creations as
well. Our square braid wicks are unprimed (raw) and untabbed. Our candle wicks
need to be primed with the wax of your choice prior to use. Test burning
candles using various wick sizes is recommended to determine the right size
wick for your particular application. Total wick length is 10 yards. Each
candle making situation is unique. There are many things to consider, from wax
types and purity to the material the container is made of. Our recommendations
are a simple suggestion to get started. Due to many variables when it comes to
products such as this, only experimentation with different configurations will
produce desired results. The first burn of a candle is important in setting
the pace for how the candle will burn every other time that it’s lit. When you
light your candle for the very first time, make sure that it burns long enough
to melt the wax all the way to the outer edge. This may take several hours.
The general rule of thumb is to let the candle burn for approximately an hour
per every inch of diameter. It’s also important to not overtrim the wick
length every time the candle is lit. A wick that’s trimmed too short will not
allow the candle to burn hot enough and may cause tunneling. A wick that is
not trimmed far enough could cause the candle to burn too hot and may cause
smoking.
