HTP Wicks are a flat braid wick possessing intertwined thin paper fibres. The result of this design is a cleaner burning, self-trimming wick with additional structural strength, controlled curling and a hotter, more efficient flame.
This Prepared HTP 1212 wick is 3.5" in height with a 15mm x 3mm wick tab and high melt point wax coating. A suggested wick for soy candles up to 3.5 inches in diameter, beeswax candles up to 2" in diameter and paraffin candles 4+ inches in diameter.

Individual testing is recommended as style of container, mold, addition of candle dye and fragrance can alter the wick size required.

Which Wick? Choosing the correct type and size wick is one of the most important steps to a great burning candle. While we give wicking suggestions, there are many variables, such as wax type, fragrance level, dye and style of container that can affect how a candle burns. In the case of some larger diameter candles, one wick may not be enough and multiple wicks are required for the candle to burn optimally. We recommend that you always TEST, TEST, TEST before manufacturing several to ensure you have chosen the correct wick for your candle. For accurate test results, start your test burn 12-24 hours after pouring and burn your candle for 3 - 4 hours at a time, allowing the wax to fully harden between burns, re-trimming your wick to the appropriate length before re-lighting.
