🕯️ Wick It Right: Your Quick Guide to Wick Selection & Placement

Getting the wick right is essential for a clean, even burn. While we provide tested guidelines, every candle setup is unique—fragrance oils, wax blends, and dyes can all impact wick performance, so testing is key.

① 📏 Measure Your Jar’s Inside Diameter

Start by working on a stable, heat-safe surface.
Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the inner width of your container.
Double-check your measurement and write it down—accurate sizing is the first step toward choosing the perfect wick.

② ✅ Select the Right Wick

Once you have your jar’s diameter:

• Refer to our Wick Size Chart to find the best match.

• Make sure to consider your wax type and whether fragrance or dye is being used.

Proper wick sizing helps prevent issues like tunneling, excessive soot, or poor scent throw.

③ 🔥 Single or Double Wick?

For wide containers, a single wick may not be enough.
If your jar requires two or more wicks:

• Divide the total diameter by the number of wicks.

• Use that smaller measurement to find a suitable wick size from the chart.

📌 Example: A 10 cm jar using 2 wicks = use the wick size recommended for a 5 cm jar.

Even spacing = even burn.

④ 🧲 Securing the Wick

To place your wick securely:

• Apply a small dot of hot glue to the bottom of the metal tab (sustainer).

• Press it firmly into the center of the jar for strong adhesion.

• You may mark the center with a removable marker to guide placement.

For double wicks:

• Divide the jar in half visually or with markings.

• Position each wick equal distance from the center and outer edges.

🟡 Tip: You can also use strong glue dots as an alternative to hot glue.

✨ Final Thought

Wicking is both a science and an art—these tips offer a solid foundation, but your own testing will always be the best guide.

• 🧪 Use With Confidence—But Always Test

  We do our best to provide helpful insights and accurate product details, but every maker’s process is different. Because ingredients and conditions vary, we strongly recommend testing each product to ensure it performs the way you want it to—especially when using fragrances, colors, or unique containers.

🔐 Safety First: Your Candle-Making Checklist

We’re all about creativity—but safety comes first. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned maker, please take a moment to review these important precautions before diving in.

🥽 Gear Up Before You Begin

Protect yourself while working. Always wear:

• Protective goggles to shield your eyes
• Gloves to keep your hands safe during handling

Even the most harmless-looking materials can be reactive—so suit up, just to be safe!

📄 Know Your Materials

Before using any new product:

• Review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for important handling and hazard info
• Follow any step-by-step instructions to ensure proper use and storage

Knowledge = safe making.

♨️ Heat With Caution

When working with warmed wax:

• Never exceed the recommended temperature range
• Use only within the suggested percentages for candles
• Always monitor your heating source carefully

Hot wax can burn or ignite if mishandled—treat it with care.

🚫 Surface Awareness

Wax and additives may damage certain surfaces. Avoid direct contact with:

• Polished wood
• Painted finishes
• Plastic or leather items

Work on a protected surface and clean up spills promptly to avoid permanent marks.

🧸 Keep Out of Reach

For everyone’s safety:

• Store waxes, fragrances, and dyes away from children and pets
• If anyone in your household has a sensitivity to scents, take extra caution when working with or burning scented candles

🏷️ Label Every Candle

Every candle you create should include a proper warning label to inform customers or gift recipients about:

• Safe burning practices
• Burn time
• Surface placement
• Fire risk precautions

It’s not just a good habit—it’s a crucial part of product safety.
