Cotton wick, natural 2 mm, length 5 m

100% cotton wick – free of synthetics, chemicals, and an aluminum core. Safe for health and ideal for eco-friendly styles.

Advantages of cotton wicks:

• no smoking, cracking, or "sinking" in wax thanks to the tight braided weave
• no distortion of the aroma
• burns self-cleaning, without soot formation
• ideal for soy, beeswax, coconut, palm, and paraffin waxes

Before use, the cotton wick should be soaked in a wax mixture. The optimal ratio is stearic acid:soy wax in a 2:3 ratio.
The wick thickens, absorbs various types of wax well during burning, and does not choke. Visually, it is pure white.

For proper combustion, monitor the wick size by regularly trimming it to 5 mm. To ensure safe burning and wick retention in container and loose leaf candles, be sure to use a wick holder and stickers to fix the wick.

We have tested a 2mm wick and recommend using it for making beeswax dipped candles up to 17-20mm in diameter.

Soy wax has a melt pool of approximately 60-65 mm, making this wick ideal for use in the Wood 200 series of candle jars. The wax burns completely without creating a tunnel.

A 2 mm diameter wick is also suitable for beeswax candles, pillar candles, and palm wax loose-leaf candles up to 60 mm in diameter.

We strongly recommend testing the optimal wick size on each mold!
