Product description

The blue wooden wick is designed for container candles where it serves not only as a burning element but also as a decorative feature. The coloured slat is clearly visible in light-coloured wax and enhances the appearance of the candle even before it is lit.

It is supplied as a complete set with a metal sustainer that holds the wick perpendicular to the bottom of the container. According to the manufacturer's data, the wick is made from certified wood, is natural, allergen-free and biodegradable.

What makes a wooden wick interesting

A colour element – the blue wick stands out most in light and undyed waxes and in clear containers.
Single slat – the wick consists of one layer of wood with a width of 19.1 mm and a thickness designation of .02.
Stable positioning – the round metal sustainer holds the flat wick upright on the bottom of the container.
Universal sustainer – the sustainer is compatible with flat, double and cross wooden wicks.

Use in candle making

Insert the wick into the sustainer and place the sustainer in the centre of the container bottom. Then pour the wax. The sustainer has a circular base of 20 × 20 mm, so it requires a flat bottom that it can rest on with its full surface.

The thickness designation comes from the manufacturer, and the rule is that a higher number means a thicker slat. It can be used as a reference when selecting a different wick size.

Whether the width and thickness of the wick suit a particular candle can only be determined by a test burn. The outcome depends on the container diameter, the type of wax, and the amount of fragrance and dye, so it is worth testing one candle before producing a full batch.

Suitable for candles such as

Container candles – the sustainer requires a flat bottom to hold the wick upright.
Decorative and gift candles – the coloured wick works well where the wax is light and the candle surface is visible.

The complete set with sustainer is not suitable for freestanding candles without a container, as the sustainer needs to rest on a solid flat bottom.

Frequently asked questions

How is a wooden wick secured inside a container?

Insert the wooden wick into the metal sustainer and place the sustainer in the centre of the container bottom. The sustainer is included in the packaging and holds the slat upright at the bottom. It has a circular base of 20 × 20 mm, so the container bottom must be flat for the sustainer to rest on it with its full surface. Pour the wax only after the wick has been positioned.

What does the thickness designation .02 mean for a wooden wick?

The designation .02 is the manufacturer's specification for the slat thickness of a wooden wick, where a higher number indicates a thicker slat. Together with the wick width — 19.1 mm for this type — it defines the wick size. Whether a given size is suitable for a particular container and wax is verified by a test burn.

Is the sustainer included with the blue wooden wick?

Yes, the blue wooden wick is supplied as a complete set with a round metal sustainer for flat wooden wicks. The sustainer holds the wick upright on the container bottom, so there is no need to purchase it separately. The same sustainer type is compatible with flat, double and cross wooden wicks.

What is the blue wooden wick made of?

The blue wooden wick is made from certified wood and consists of a single slat. The manufacturer states that their wooden wicks are natural, allergen-free and biodegradable. The blue colour serves a decorative purpose and stands out most in undyed, light-coloured wax.

How do I find out whether a wooden wick with a width of 19.1 mm is right for my candle?

The suitability of a wooden wick with a width of 19.1 mm can only be determined by a test burn in the actual candle. The result is influenced by the container diameter, the type of wax, and the amount of fragrance and dye. It is therefore recommended to make and test one candle first before producing the full batch.
