Firefly Wax Cotton Candle Wicks | Candle Making | X-Large Size | 6″ Long | 20mm Tab | Box of 100

SIZE MEDIUM: These Candle Wicks are designed to match an X-LARGE inner diameter of a container based on the type of wax you are using. Here is a list of wax types and their matching inside diameters: Paraffin Wax: 3-3/4″ to 4″ Soy Wax: 3-1/4″ to 3-1/2″ Soy/Paraffin Blend: 3-1/2″ to 3-3/4″ Coconut Wax: 3-1/4″ to 3-1/2″ Beeswax: 2-3/4″ to 3″ SPECIFICATIONS: The Wick is 6″ Long, and made from 100% cellulosic plant-based fibers, mostly cotton. Each Wick is crimped with a 20mm (about 3/4″) round tab. Cut the Wicks to a shorter length to suit your specific needs using sharp scissors. INCLUDED: Each box contains 100 Wicks, each with a crimped round tab. SIZING INFO: If your wick is PERFECTLY-SIZED for your container diameter and wax combination, you should get a melt pool that extends to the edge of the container that is approximately 1/2″ deep. The flame will burn consistently without flicker and there will be no carbon build up. If your wick is TOO SMALL (under wicked), the wax will melt unevenly, not extending to the edge of the container. It will “tunnel” and eventually extinguish itself before all the wax has burned. If your wick is TOO LARGE (over wicked), the flame will be too tall and will flicker. There will be carbon build up producing what is called “mushrooming”. There will be puffs of smoke. Soot can build up inside the candle and the container may get extremely hot and could possibly break.
