Product description

Wooden wick .03 Booster crackling with a width of 12.7 mm is a flat wick for container candles that crackles when burning. The package contains 100 wicks together with metal holders, so nothing extra needs to be purchased after unboxing.

The Booster series features a reinforcing layer in addition to the main lamella. The wicks are made from certified wood. The manufacturer describes them as natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable.

What makes the wooden Booster wick interesting

Sound effect – the wick belongs to the crackling series; the sound is produced by burning wood.
Reinforcing layer – it differs from a simple wooden wick by an additional layer on the lamella.
Natural material – certified wood, described by the manufacturer as allergen-free and biodegradable.
Holder included – a round metal holder keeps the wick upright at the bottom of the container.

Use in candle making

The wick is designed for container-poured candles. The designation .03 indicates the lamella thickness according to the manufacturer; a higher number means a thicker lamella.

The suitability of the width and thickness for a specific container cannot be determined by its diameter alone. Each new combination of container, wax, and fragrance should therefore be verified with a test burn. Wood is a natural material, so there may be minor differences between wicks in grain pattern and crackling intensity.

Before producing a larger batch, pour one test candle and let it burn for several hours. Check whether the wax melts all the way to the edge of the container, whether the flame does not smoke, and whether the container does not overheat.

Wick installation procedure

Insert the wick into the metal holder so that it stands upright.
Secure the holder in the centre of the container bottom, for example with an adhesive sticker or a drop of wax.
Pour the wax slowly so the wick does not shift from the centre.
Once the wax has fully set, trim the wick and verify the candle with a test burn.

Frequently asked questions

What does the .03 designation on the Booster wooden wick mean?

The .03 designation indicates the lamella thickness of the wooden wick according to the manufacturer. A higher number means a thicker lamella. Together with the 12.7 mm width, it is the specification used to select the wick for a specific candle. The right combination for a given container, wax, and fragrance must always be verified with a test burn.

What is the difference between the Booster wooden wick and a simple wooden wick?

The Booster wooden wick has an additional reinforcing layer on the lamella; a simple wooden wick consists of a single lamella. This wick also belongs to the crackling series, so it produces a crackling sound when burning. Which type suits a specific candle can only be determined by a test burn in the given container with the given wax and fragrance.

Does the Booster wooden wick crackle when burning?

Yes, the Booster wooden wick belongs to the crackling series and produces a crackling sound when burning. The sound is created by the burning wood. Since it is a natural material, the crackling intensity may vary slightly between individual wicks. How the wick will sound in a specific candle is best determined by a test burn.

What is the metal holder for in the Booster wooden wick?

The metal holder keeps the wooden wick upright at the bottom of the container. The wick is inserted into the holder and the holder is secured in the centre of the container bottom, for example with an adhesive sticker or a drop of wax. The wick therefore stays in place during wax pouring. The round holder is designed for flat wooden wicks and is included in the package.

What does the Booster wooden wick 12.7 mm package contain?

The package contains 100 Booster wooden wicks with a width of 12.7 mm and metal holders for flat wooden wicks. Nothing extra needs to be purchased to install the wick in a container. The wicks are made from certified wood and the manufacturer describes them as natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable.
