CD Series Wicks

CD Series Wicks

The CD series of wicks is a favorite among many seasoned candlemakers.  These wicks are flat braided with a special paper filament woven around them.  This configuration is engineered to promote maximum and consistent burn while insuring a wick trimming flame posture.  The CD series is used in many applications and is especially compatible with the harder-to-melt viscous waxes of both paraffin and vegetable base.  Each wick has been cut to the specified length, primed with a high melt point wax (212°F) and has been crimped with a 20mm diameter x 10mm tall tab (except CD-22 which has a 20mm diameter x 6mm tab.)

*These recommendations are based upon the wick being used in a base paraffin wax. “Single Pour” paraffin waxes and vegetable based (soy) waxes generally require a larger wick and may require that you “upsize” your wick 1,2 or even 3 sizes to achieve a proper melt pool.
