Wooden wick, .02 black, 19.1 mm

A wooden wick in black is designed for candles where the wick is also meant to serve a visual purpose. The black slat creates a strong contrast against light wax and suits dark or coloured candles as well. It is supplied as a complete set with a round metal sustainer that holds the wick vertically at the bottom of the container, so no separate sustainer needs to be purchased.

The wick consists of a single slat of certified wood with a width of 19.1 mm.

What makes a wooden wick interesting

• Black colour – the wick is coloured before the first burn, so the candle looks finished even when new.
• Sustainer included – a metal stem with a circular base 20 × 20 mm holds the slat in an upright position.
• Single slat – the wick is single-layer, made from one flat strip of wood.
• Wood as a material – according to the manufacturer's data, it is a natural, biodegradable material free from allergens.

How to read the width and thickness designation

Wooden wicks are selected based on two values: width and slat thickness. The designation .02 indicates the thickness according to the manufacturer's coding, where a higher number means a thicker slat.

The exact container diameter suitable for this wick cannot be stated as a general figure; suitability must be verified by testing in the specific candle.

Placing the wick in the candle

The slat is inserted into the sustainer and the sustainer is placed in the centre of the container bottom. The circular base measures 20 mm, so it should be checked in advance that it fits on the bottom of the container and rests on a flat surface. The sustainer then holds the wick vertically at the base of the container.

This type of metal sustainer is suitable for single, double, and cross wooden wicks.
