A wick that is one size too small drowns in the melt pool. One size too large chars the wax wall. The margin for error is narrower than most beginners expect, so we built a simple check into the checkout process: you select your mold diameter, and we verify the wick pack matches before we seal the box. It is a small step and it catches a disproportionate number of errors.
Three diameter ranges covered
We stock wicks for molds from 50 mm to 90 mm in diameter. Each pack is labelled with the recommended mold range and the wax type it is rated for. The label is the specification we stand behind — if your pack is labelled for a different range than you selected, that is a defect.
- Small diameter wicks rated for molds between 50 and 65 mm, compatible with soy and paraffin container candles.
- Medium diameter wicks rated for molds between 66 and 80 mm, compatible with all three wax types we stock.
- Large diameter wicks rated for molds between 81 and 90 mm, suited to pillar and beeswax blend projects.
How to place your order correctly
Select your mold diameter range at checkout and we handle the matching. If you are using a mold not in the listed range, add a note and we will advise before we pack. We do not supply unwaxed wicks — all packs are pre-tabbed and ready to centre.
