Product description

The wooden wick .03 Booster crackling is a flat wooden wick designed for container candles that gently crackles while burning. It appeals to makers who want to set their candle apart not only by scent but also by sound and the appearance of the wick. The Booster series has a reinforcing layer added to the main wooden slat. This is the short variant with a width of 12.7 mm.

The pack contains 100 wicks together with metal holders that keep the wick upright on the bottom of the container. No need to purchase a holder separately to set the wick in a candle.

What makes this wick stand out

Crackling while burning – a wooden wick adds an auditory effect to the candle that a cotton wick cannot provide.
Booster reinforcing layer – an additional layer of wood is added to the main slat, which sets this series apart from simple wooden wicks.
Holder included – the wick slides into a metal holder that keeps it upright on the bottom of the container.
Certified-origin wood – the wicks are made in the USA; the manufacturer describes them as natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable.
Natural appearance – the wooden slat suits candles with a simple, natural design.

How to work with the wick

Insert the wick into the metal holder so it sits firmly and upright. Fix the holder to the centre of the container bottom before pouring the wax. While pouring, check that the wick has remained centred and has not tilted before the wax sets.

The designation .03 indicates the slat thickness according to the manufacturer's labelling: a higher number means a thicker slat. Together with the width and length it identifies a specific wick variant, so it is worth noting it down for every formula you test.

Always confirm your wick selection with a burn test using the specific wax, fragrance blend, and container. Repeat the test after every formula change.

Suitable for products such as

Candles in glass, ceramic, or tins, where the holder keeps the wick on the bottom of the container.
Shorter containers suited to the short wick variant.
Scented candles where the crackling complements the fragrance and creates atmosphere.

Good to know when making candles

The wick's behaviour in a candle depends on the wax, fragrance blend, colorant, and container diameter. We recommend testing several wick widths side by side and choosing the one at which the candle burns evenly and without soot.

The metal holder included in the pack is designed for flat wooden wicks. It can be used with straight, double, and cross wooden wicks.

Neither the wick nor the holder are intended for contact with food or cosmetics. The set is used exclusively for candle making.

Frequently asked questions

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

The designation .03 indicates the thickness of the wooden slat according to the manufacturer's labelling. A higher number means a thicker slat. Together with the width of 12.7 mm and the short length, the code precisely identifies the wick variant — useful when comparing several wicks in a burn test and when reordering the same type.

What does the pack of the .03 Booster crackling wooden wick contain?

The pack contains 100 wooden wicks and metal holders to match. The holder keeps the wick upright on the bottom of the container and is designed for flat wooden wicks. The wick is inserted into the holder before pouring the wax, so no separate holder purchase is needed and the wick is ready to be placed in the container.

How does the Booster wooden wick differ from a simple wooden wick?

The Booster series wick has a reinforcing layer added to the main wooden slat; a simple wooden wick does not. It is a crackling wick, so it produces a gentle sound when burning. How it behaves in your candle depends on the wax, fragrance blend, and container, so the choice is always confirmed with a burn test.

What container diameter can a wooden wick with a width of 12.7 mm handle?

The exact container diameter for a wooden wick with a width of 12.7 mm is determined by a burn test, not a chart. The result depends on the wax, fragrance blend, and colorant. When in doubt, test two adjacent wick widths in the same container with the same formula and compare which one burns evenly and without soot.

Is the .03 Booster wooden wick natural and biodegradable?

Yes, according to the manufacturer the wooden wick is natural, allergen-free, and biodegradable. It is produced in the USA from wood of certified origin. These properties apply to the wooden wick itself; the holder included in the pack is metal and remains on the bottom of the container after the candle has burned down.

Can the .03 Booster wooden wick be used in massage candles?

No, neither the .03 Booster wooden wick nor the metal holder are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. They are equally not intended for contact with food. The set is used exclusively for making decorative and scented container candles where the melted wax does not come into contact with skin.
