The Stabilo cotton wick represents a professional solution for safe and stable burning of candles made from various wax blends. Thanks to the used coreless cotton fibre, the wick is designed to ensure even burning, optimal fragrance evaporation and a clean flame without excessive smoking when used correctly.
This type of wick is ideal for candle makers who place emphasis on consistent burning quality, reliable flame draw and good interaction with quality wax, fragrances and colourants. A suitably chosen wick size makes it possible to create candles that burn out effectively up to the edges, which minimizes unused wax residue.
Always adapt the choice of wick size to the diameter of the container, the type of wax and the amount of added fragrances or colourants. We recommend starting with test pours – fill several smaller test containers with the same wax but with different wick lengths and possibly different wick types. After several hours of burning, observe the width of the melted wax “pool”, the flame height and any smoking. The ideal wick will create a sufficiently wide pool without tunnelling and without excessive smoke. For serial production, always follow your own compatibility tests.
You can reuse the container after the candle has burned out, provided that hygiene principles are observed, for example for a new candle or for another suitable content. Before refilling, it is necessary to mechanically clean the container from wax residues and disinfect it thoroughly, for example using IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. The wick itself is intended for single use in a specific candle; for repeated production it is necessary to use a new piece of wick.
If you decide not to reuse the container after the candle has burned out, it is suitable to recycle it according to the recommendations given in the parameters of the specific packaging on Handymade.sk. After removing wax residues, place the container in the appropriate separated waste collection according to the material (for example glass or another packaging material, if this is stated in the parameter table). In this way you minimize waste and ensure more environmentally considerate handling of used packaging.
To choose a suitable vial, jar or container, you can use the extended filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the extended filter you can clearly set parameters such as neck type, size, colour and packaging material. In this way you quickly narrow down the offer to packaging that is suitable for your specific product or candle type and more easily find the optimal solution for your project.
It is important to ensure that the wick is set straight in the centre of the container and is stably fixed when pouring the wax. Before the first lighting, we recommend trimming the wick to a suitable length so that the flame is not too high. When adding fragrances, colourants and other additives, observe whether they change the flame behaviour. Test each new formula in a smaller series in order to verify even burning, safe behaviour of the container and flame cleanliness under real conditions of use.
