Product description

A wooden wick with a metal sustainer is designed for making container candles where the flame should produce, alongside light, a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace. The pack contains 100 wicks with sustainers, making it suitable for repeated small-batch production.

The set consists of a wick made from a single wooden slat and a metal sustainer into which the wick is inserted. The sustainer holds the wick perpendicular to the bottom of the container. According to the manufacturer, the wick is made from certified wood, is allergen-free and biodegradable.

Key features

Crackling effect – the wick belongs to the single-slat crackling wick series, which produces a quiet crackling sound when burning.
Flat slat width 12.7 mm – the wick is flat and ribbon-shaped, not round like a cotton wick.
Thickness .03 – the thickness designation comes from the manufacturer; a higher number indicates a thicker slat.
Sustainer included – each wick comes with a metal sustainer that holds it upright, so no improvised support is needed.

Use in candle making

Insert the wick into the sustainer and secure the sustainer at the centre of the container bottom. Pour the wax around the wick. Once set, trim the wick to the height of the candle, so a single length works for both shorter and taller containers.

The correct wick size depends on the container diameter, the type of wax, and the fragrance oil load. If the wick is too weak for a given candle, try a thicker slat — i.e. a wick with a higher thickness number.

With every new combination of container, wax and fragrance, make a test candle first and confirm the wick choice through a burn test.

Neither the wick nor the sustainer is rated for contact with cosmetics or food. They are intended for candle making, not for massage candles applied to the skin.

Frequently asked questions

What is the metal sustainer for a wooden wick used for?

The metal sustainer holds the wooden wick perpendicular to the bottom of the container. Insert the wick into the sustainer and fix the sustainer at the centre of the bottom, then pour the wax around the wick. This pack includes a sustainer with every wick, so 100 wicks come with 100 sustainers — no need to purchase them separately.

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

The .03 designation indicates the slat thickness of the wooden wick according to the manufacturer. A higher number means a thicker slat. This wick consists of a single slat and belongs to the crackling wick series. When selecting a wick, thickness is assessed together with wick width, container diameter and the wax used.

What is the wooden wick made of?

The wooden wick is made from certified wood. The manufacturer describes it as natural, allergen-free and biodegradable. It consists of a single flat wooden slat that slots into a metal sustainer. Neither the wick nor the sustainer is rated for contact with cosmetics or food; they are intended for candle making.

How long is the 12.7 mm wooden wick and can it be trimmed?

The 12.7 mm wide wooden wick is 127 mm tall and can be trimmed to the height of the candle. Trimming is done after the wax has set, so the same wick works for both shorter and taller containers. The sustainer remains at the bottom of the container and keeps the wick upright.

Is the 12.7 mm wooden wick suitable for soy wax?

The suitability of the 12.7 mm wooden wick for soy wax can only be confirmed by a burn test of the finished candle. The result depends on the container diameter, wax type and fragrance oil load, so it cannot be determined in advance for all formulations. If the wick proves too weak, try a thicker slat.
