Candle Making Wick Guide: Match Wax with Wick Types

One of the difficult things about making candles is to figure out what wick to use. The wick type that is best for your candle will depend on both the diameter that you want for the candle and on the wax that the candle is made from. You can use CandleScience’s wick guide to figure out what wick to use, but make sure to test it first. Beeswax is tricky to predict for, so make sure to test beeswax extra well.

Key Takeaways:

• The type of wax and the width of the candle both inform what sort of wick you should use.
• The CandleScience wick guide helps you determine these factors and choose the right wick.
• Be careful with beeswax because it can be tricky, and be sure to test all wicks out first.

“We can probably all agree that finding the right size wick for a new candle formula can be pretty frustrating.”
