Usage NotesBooster wood wick 1 is suitable for use in a container measuring between 30mm and 40mm inside diameter. However, we strongly recommend you conduct your own testing as there are many variables that affect the way a candle burns. OriginThe premier, all natural, Original Wick is made from native, sappy fruit trees and sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified mills and manufactured with pride (and great skill) in the USA. Offered in a variety of thicknesses, widths, and lengths and for use in all wax types, The Original Wick can be used on its own or combined with other wicks to meet your candle making needs. To achieve optimal burn performance in candles with high levels of fragrance, colour or vegetable based waxes use two Wicks together (in one Wick Clip) to achieve the optimal crackling effect or combine an Original Wick and a Smooth Wick for a more subtle crackling sound. TipsThe best “crackle” is achieved with a fragrance load of between 6-8% |
Glossary of wick specifications
Diameter Guide: This is a suggestion for the diameter of the glass jar, tin, bowl, or whatever type container you might use this wick for. Always measure the internal diameter (across the inside of the container) at the widest point.
Height: The height of the various size wood wicks varies and they can often be cut to make two shorter wicks.
Pre-tabbed: Each wick comes with a separate metal sustainer for attaching the wick the wick to the jar. The tab also acts as a safety device as it stops the candle from burning all the way to the bottom of the jar. Tabs are 8mm wide and 6mm high.

Love these wicks, I find working at 6-8% fragrance load is best for the crackle and to help them burn better!
