Round Metal Sustainer for Wooden Wicks

Wooden wick, .02 black, 12.7 mmDrevený knôt, .02 čierny, 12,7 mm ZASOBA

Product description

The wooden wick in black is designed for making container candles. It consists of a single wood lamella that is coloured during manufacturing, so it acts as a design element inside the candle.

It is supplied as a complete set with a round metal sustainer that holds the wick vertically on the bottom of the container. There is no need to separately source a sustainer suitable for a flat wick.

What makes a wooden wick interesting

Certified wood – the wick is made from wood sourced from certified suppliers.
Natural material – the manufacturer describes the wick as natural, allergen-free and biodegradable.
Black colour – the lamella is coloured during production and requires no further treatment.
Sustainer included – the metal sustainer with a circular base is designed for flat wooden wicks and is compatible with straight, double and cross wicks.

Understanding the width and thickness designation

Two figures matter when choosing a wooden wick. Width 12.7 mm corresponds to half an inch, which is the unit used by the manufacturer. Thickness .02 is the manufacturer's designation for lamella thickness, where a higher number means a thicker lamella.

No specific container diameter recommendation is available for this combination of width and thickness. The suitability of the wick for a particular candle therefore needs to be verified by a test burn.

Use in candle making

Insert the wick into the metal sustainer and place the sustainer on the bottom of the container. The lamella should stand vertically, which is exactly what the sustainer ensures. Then pour the wax and allow the candle to set.

Before making a larger batch, we recommend pouring one test candle using the exact wax, fragrance and container you plan to use.

Frequently asked questions

What does the .02 designation on a wooden wick mean?

The .02 designation indicates the lamella thickness of the wooden wick according to the manufacturer's coding. A higher number means a thicker lamella, a lower number a thinner one. Thickness is always stated together with the wick width, which for this wick is 12.7 mm, i.e. half an inch. When selecting a wick, both figures need to be taken into account, not just the width.

Does the wooden wick come with a sustainer?

Yes, the wooden wick is supplied as a complete set with a round metal sustainer. The lamella is inserted into the sustainer, which is then placed on the bottom of the container, holding the wick vertically. The sustainer has a circular base and is designed for flat wooden wicks, so there is no need to purchase one separately or look for a compatible sustainer.

What container size is suitable for a wooden wick with a width of 12.7 mm?

No specific container diameter recommendation is available for a wooden wick with a width of 12.7 mm and thickness .02. Suitability for a particular container is determined by a test burn. We recommend pouring one test candle with the same wax, fragrance and container you plan to use before making a larger batch.

What is the black wooden wick made of?

The black wooden wick is made from wood sourced from certified suppliers and consists of a single lamella. It is manufactured in the USA and comes with the black colour applied during production. The manufacturer describes it as natural, allergen-free and biodegradable. The metal sustainer included in the package is used to secure the wick on the bottom of the container.

Can the metal sustainer be used with other wooden wicks?

Yes, the metal sustainer included in the package is suitable for straight, double and cross wooden wicks. It is designed for flat wooden wicks and has a circular base that sits on the bottom of the container. In this set it holds a single black lamella with a width of 12.7 mm vertically on the container floor.
