Product description

The Crackling Wooden Wick Booster with stand is designed for making container candles. Instead of a cotton wick, a thin wooden strip burns and crackles while burning, much like wood in a fireplace. The Booster series also features a reinforcing layer.

The pack contains 100 wicks and 100 metal stands, making it suitable for batch candle production. The stand with a round base holds the wick perpendicular to the bottom of the container, so it stays upright when pouring the wax.

What makes this wick interesting

Crackling when burning – the wick belongs to the crackling series. The intensity of the sound may vary between individual candles.
Booster reinforcing layer – the main strip is complemented by a reinforcing layer, which sets the Booster series apart from simple wooden wicks.
Stand included – the wick is inserted into a metal stand and the assembly is secured to the bottom of the container. The same type of stand is suitable for straight, double and cross wooden wicks.
Natural material – the wicks are made from certified wood. The manufacturer describes them as natural, allergen-free and biodegradable.

Use in candle making

The wick is used in container poured candles. The designation .03 indicates the thickness of the strip. A higher number means a thicker strip.

The process is straightforward:

insert the wick into the stand and secure the stand to the centre of the container base,
pour the wax around the wick and allow it to set,
trim the wick to the height of the container.

Choosing the right wick depends on the container diameter, the type of wax and the fragrance load.

We recommend verifying every new combination of container, wax and fragrance with a test burn. Monitor the flame height and check that the container does not overheat.
