| Q: |
Should I switch over to wood wicks? |
| A: |
The wood wicks are not really designed to replace your cotton wicks but are more suited for developing a separate line of candles. If you have a new jar line that might need that something special consider using the wood wicks in that line. To maximize the impact of the wood wick it is best to use a very soft paraffin wax (CBL-125) which works very well. Each fragrance can perform differently so try different fragrances in each application. The proper wood wick to use will vary depending on the wax you are using and even the color fragrance but the chart below can serve as a starting point.
Small - Small Containers ( Up to 3" )
Medium - Medium Containers ( 3" - 3.75" )
Large - Medium & Large Containers ( 3.5" - 4.25" )
Extra Large - Large Containers (4" - 4.75") |
