Product highlights
The 15 cm Cotton Candle Wicks stand out due to their superior construction and thoughtful design. Each wick measures a convenient 15 cm in length, making them versatile for various candle sizes and types. The core of these wicks is made from 100% natural cotton cord, ensuring a clean and consistent burn without the release of harmful chemicals. This natural material is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, aligning with sustainable crafting practices. The wicks are composed of 40 individual threads, tightly woven to create a robust structure that resists bending and ensures a steady flame. This high thread count contributes to a more efficient burn, maximizing the lifespan of your candles and enhancing their fragrance throw.
A critical feature of these wicks is the pre-attached metal base tab, which boasts a diameter of 12.5mm. These tabs are designed for stability, providing a solid foundation that keeps the wick upright and centered within your candle vessel. This eliminates the common frustration of wicks collapsing or shifting during the wax curing process, resulting in a perfectly formed candle every time. The metal tabs are also crucial for safety, as they help to extinguish the flame once the wax level gets too low, preventing the wick from burning directly against the bottom of the container. With 100 pieces in each pack, you'll have an ample supply for multiple projects, whether you're experimenting with new scents or fulfilling a large order. These wicks are an investment in quality, promising a superior candle-making experience from start to finish.

How to use & care
Using the 15 cm Cotton Candle Wicks is straightforward, even for beginners. First, ensure your candle vessel is clean and dry. Place the wick's metal tab firmly at the bottom center of your container. You can secure it with a dab of hot glue, a wick sticker, or a specialized wick holder for optimal stability. Use a wick centering device or clothespin to keep the wick perfectly upright and centered while you pour your melted wax. Pour the wax slowly to avoid dislodging the wick. Once the wax has cooled and cured completely, trim the wick to about 1/10 cm (6mm) before lighting. This optimal length helps ensure a clean, even burn and prevents excessive soot and a too-large flame.
Proper care of your candles, starting with the wick, extends their life and performance. Always trim the wick before each burn to 1/10 cm. This prevents mushrooming and excessive soot, promoting a cleaner and brighter flame. Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time; this helps prevent the wick from becoming too long and ensures the wax melts evenly across the surface. Store unused wicks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain their integrity. By following these simple guidelines, you'll maximize the benefits of your 15 cm Cotton Candle Wicks and enjoy beautifully burning candles consistently.
Questions, answered
Are these 15 cm Cotton Candle Wicks suitable for all types of wax?
Yes, these wicks are designed to be versatile and work effectively with various wax types, including soy wax, paraffin wax, beeswax, and palm wax. Their natural cotton composition and structure ensure a consistent burn across different wax formulations.
How do I prevent tunneling when using these wicks?
To prevent tunneling, ensure the wick is properly centered and trimmed to 1/10 cm before each burn. Also, on the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface of the wax to melt evenly to the edges of the container. This sets the "memory" for subsequent burns.
Can I use these 15 cm wicks for larger candles?
While the 15 cm length is versatile, for very large diameter candles (e.g., over 7.6 cm), you might need to use multiple wicks or a thicker wick designed for larger melts pools. These 15 cm Cotton Candle Wicks are ideal for small to medium-sized container candles, votives, and tea lights.
What is the benefit of the metal base tab?
The metal base tab serves several important functions. It provides stability, keeping the wick upright and centered during wax pouring and curing. It also acts as a safety feature, helping to self-extinguish the flame when the wax level gets too low, preventing the wick from burning directly against the container bottom.
Are these wicks pre-waxed?
These wicks are typically lightly waxed or primed to ensure an initial even burn. This priming helps them light easily and maintain a steady flame from the start. However, they are not heavily pre-waxed like some specific types of wicks.
