Product description

Stabilo wick, size 2 is a cotton wick for making tealights. In a candle, it draws melted wax up to the flame. Its size therefore determines the height of the flame and whether the wax in the cup melts across the whole surface.

Use in candle making

The wick is intended for tealights poured into cups. Before pouring, it is fixed in the centre of the cup and held upright until the wax sets.

A test burn will show whether size 2 suits a particular cup and wax. Let the finished candle burn down and observe the flame and the surface of the melted wax:

Wick too weak – the flame is small and is drowned by the melted wax, and an unmelted layer remains near the edge of the cup.
Wick too strong – the flame is tall, restless and smoky, and soot forms at the end of the wick.
Correct size – the flame burns calmly without smoke and the wax gradually melts across the whole surface.

Whenever you change the wax, fragrance oil or dye, carry out a new test burn. A blend that burned cleanly with the wick may behave differently after the recipe has been adjusted.

Good to know

The wick is made of cotton and is supplied in technical grade. It is made in Germany and the manufacturer holds ISO 9001 and RAL-GZ 041 certificates.

Frequently asked questions

What candles is the Stabilo size 2 wick used for?

The Stabilo size 2 wick is intended for tealights poured into cups. It is made of cotton and is fixed in the centre of the cup before the wax is poured. We recommend checking with a test candle whether it suits your particular cup and wax.

How can I tell whether the Stabilo size 2 wick is right for my tealight?

A test burn of the finished candle will show the correct wick size. The flame should burn calmly and without smoke, and the wax should gradually melt across the whole surface of the cup. A small flame drowned by wax indicates a wick that is too weak. A tall flame that smokes and forms soot indicates a wick that is too strong.

What material is the Stabilo wick made of?

The Stabilo wick is made of cotton. It is supplied in technical grade and is used for making tealights. It comes from Germany, from a manufacturer with ISO 9001 and RAL-GZ 041 certificates.

Can the Stabilo size 2 wick be used in a jar candle?

The Stabilo size 2 wick is intended for tealights. The wick size is chosen according to the diameter of the candle and the type of wax. A jar candle generally has a larger diameter than a tealight, so choose a wick intended for the given diameter.

Will fragrance oil or dye affect how a candle with a Stabilo wick burns?

Yes, both fragrance oil and dye can change how a candle burns with any wick, including the Stabilo wick. A change of wax type has the same effect. After every adjustment to the recipe, we recommend carrying out a new test burn and checking the flame height, smoking, and whether the wax melts across the whole surface of the cup.
