Always adapt the selection of the wick to the diameter of the container, the type of wax and the amount of added fragrance or essential oils. It is recommended to create several test candles with different wick widths and to observe the burning for at least several hours (burning width, flame height, carbon build-up). The wooden wick with booster profile is particularly suitable for natural waxes, but the final setting must always be verified by your own testing.

The wooden wick is intended for single use in a specific candle, but the container itself (jar, pot or vial) can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before refilling, the container must be thoroughly cleaned of wax residues, impurities and then disinfected with a suitable agent, for example isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. For disinfection you can use the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based to ensure hygienic cleanliness before new filling.

Before pouring, it is appropriate to thoroughly wash the container, dry it and remove dust or grease. The wooden wick is placed into a metal or other suitable base and firmly fixed to the bottom of the container so that it stands upright. After pouring, we recommend letting the candle stabilize at room temperature and before the first lighting shortening the upper part of the wick to the recommended length according to the results of your tests. A container with a candle prepared in this way ensures safer and more stable burning.

After the candle has burned out and the wax has cooled, remove the wax residues and the remaining wooden wick. Sort the container according to the type of material into the appropriate waste – glass jars and vials into the glass container, plastic containers into plastic waste and metal lids into metal waste, always in accordance with local waste sorting rules. If the packaging has a specific material marking or recycling symbol, follow it according to the information given in the parameters of the specific product. If you decide not to reuse the container, its recycling is the most environmentally friendly solution.

To select a suitable jar, vial or other container, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the filter you can easily set the desired parameters such as neck type, size, color or packaging material. Thanks to this you will find a suitable container for candles, cosmetics or other products more quickly, which you can combine with a wooden wick according to your needs.
