How do I choose the appropriate thickness and width for the size of the candle?
In Egypt, I have available wood planks from the first 4 mm to 10 mm
It’s great to Listen to someone who is prepared to pass on such valuable information freely. A very big thank you from someone who is just starting out.
Thanks!
I always appreciate your putting so much into your videos and sharing your knowledge! Thank you!!
Thank you. :)
Best video on wood wicks. Thank you
Here I am at 8:30 at night, ignoring my dinner, and learning about wood wicks from Jeremy Renner.
🤣🤣🤣
The drawing of the wick and displaying the diameter of the wick are helpful. thank you for sharing.
Great!
This video is definitely one I plan to come back to. Your generosity to give your insight, providing key information on such a broad subject and taking the time to explain things thoroughly is greatly appreciated. Thank you 😌
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all the work you do to make these videos. There's ALWAYS something in them I find I can use to make my business/my candles better. You've got THE BEST channel for candle making.
Thanks so much Sally!
This is by far the best candle making video tutorial that I have seen on UA-cam, professionally and technically explained, thank you!
Ty so much. Glad to help and happy you enjoyed!
"Literally the worst rectangle in history"
"I couldn't help myself" 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh I was cracking up!!!!
Thank you so much for all of this information. You are the most helpful candle creator out there!!
Lol. Thanks Samantha!
Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are amazing!
Great info and video! Wood wicking is tough and requires a lot of patients. Thanks for sharing!
Yes it does! And, thank you! :)
This was really good and informative I’ve been playing around with wooden wicks, can you make a video about the wooden wick flame and how it performs differently from cotton wicks?
Thanks for the feedback. I will add it to my list. :)
Very informative video. I just start using/testing wood wicks. Took awhile but I finally have the proper wood wick for my candles
That's great! They do require some patience (like all wicks, lol). But they are beautiful!
Vital information!!! I'm new to the candle making industry 😊 super excited for this journey!
Awesome information Wade. Thank you!
Welcome! :)
Great info thanks for sharing I've been wanting to try these wicks
You are welcome! :)
Wow!! This is just what I needed to know. Thanks.
You're welcome Pat!
I wish I had seen this sooner!! It was so very helpful and answered questions I didn’t even know I had!! Thank you!
No worries!
Thank you for the break down. We appreciate you!
No problem! Ty
Thank you for another great video! I’m going to see how the wood wicks work with my 3 wick candle jars! Possibly will only need one instead of 3! I will check out the online wick recommendation and do lots of testing!
Thanks again! You are awesome!!
Go Chiefs (Cowboys fan here but I lived in KC for one year and some family there so I love KC as well)!!
No problem Mitc. Hope testing goes well. Woodwicks can be frustrating so just gotta be patient and have thick skin. Ha!
And that's cool about KC man. I'm a die hard chiefs fan, it's great to see where they are out these days. I have worries about all the injuries on our offensive line. We have 2nd and 3rd stringers in there for several weeks now. Hoping the double bye might get a few starters back.
Goodluck to your Cowboys, hard to imagine they were going to get into the playoffs this year, but may still happen!
Great video. I love your sense of humor!
Lol. Thanks!
I am just getting started with opening a candle business and I'm definitely looking into wooden wicks but I know nothing about them. I learned a lot from this video, things were explained really great! Thank you for all the information! :)
You are welcome. 🙂
First time that I could actually learn how to work with the wood wicks. Somehow everyone else pulls a wood wick out of their hats and that's it. Great job.
Lol. Thanks Susana. Most struggle at first more than they portray though. :)
THIS IS VERY HELPFUL!!!! especially for a beginner candle maker. THANK YOU good sir!
No problem Chester! Thanks for tuning in and your support!
Thanks so much for sharing!! Great advice as usual!
Thanks!
Loved your direct approach. Good energy and awesome job on breaking down the information. Very useful for newbies like me. Liked and Subscribed!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it snd for sticking around. :)
Thanks for all the information you share on your channel.
My pleasure!
I want to thank you for all the info.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much, super helpful for beginners
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this information! It helped to clear up why my wicks we're burning well in the beginning and then going crazy towards the end of the candle!
No problem!
i knew it! thank you for validating my hunch about the diameter of my large tins at 3.4". this is my first day using them and i'm astonished at how well they are performing with wooden wicks. such a helpful video, all of it. thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching! :)
This was really helpful. Thanks!!
You are welcome! :)
This is super helpful info! One of my biggest concerns was how to trim the wick after it’s been burning and it’s getting lower into the jar. So thank you for your explanation. I am doing a test burn now and will try that method once the wax hardens and the wick cools down.
😁👍
Thank’s for sharing very good info😍
You're welcome. Thanms Doris!
This is pretty good information. Thank you!

Excellent video
Thanks!
O.MY.GOOOOSSHHH!!! Why didnt I watch this so long ago? I had terrible luck when I tried them with soy wax but never retried them when I switched to coconut wax! My jars are the 8oz Libbey and 2 wicks are too hot and a single wick tends to have too much smoke at the end of the jar. So now I'm retesting and seems much better smoke wise but haven't nailed down the sizing yet. THANK YOU!! 😊 🙏
No problem! ❤
Cool effects😀
😀
keep striving wade! :)
😁👍
Awesome video, and great information
Thank you!
@@BlackTieBarn you're welcome 🥰
Thank you for this video. I’ve tested so many cotton wicks with my tumblers and everything is great except for the soot I get… and I can’t wick down bc it will tunnel. For the longest I couldn’t figure this out. But I now know it’s common with this type of vessel so I will be trying wood wicks. Hopefully this fixes that issue bc I’d hate not to be able to use what I have.
👍
excellent video
Thanks elisa!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Joyce. That was thoughtful!
Thank you for such good info, as always! Have you ever considered creating a candlemaking course? I'm sure it would be a great success!
I have. Something in planning on starting later this year. :)
Can you use a sparkler for a wick? just kidding 😂 you’re cracking me up Going to have to rewatch. Funny whiteboard stuff. Ty for that
🤣 Thanks Laurie!
Thank you 🙏🍀
Np!
Thank you for this. I was wondering why my wood wicks didn't work then they all of a sudden seem to work with a certain type of FO. Thanks Wade❤❤
No problem!
NICE!!!!!!!!
😁
Hey Wade! Great video as always! 😎
Could you possibly do a video on the latest Ultimate Wood Wicks from Makesy? What are your thoughts on those compared to the typical wooden wicks? Also what are your thoughts on the X wicks?
Thanks a million! Really appreciated!
Great video. I use coconut apricot wax and had the hardest time wicking the straight libby jars. After much testing, i was able to find the right wood wick and i also had to adjust my fragrance oil amount. In another video you mentioned the discoloration with using wood wicks which is the only concern i am having right now. Even though its normal is there something i can for the discoloration or am i over thinking it?
tyvm very inforative
Thanks!
Many thanks for the information. Have you had the experience of the wood wick burning out before it gets to the wax, if so why does that occur?
Good to know that most of them come from makesy basically. Is there specific waxes that they work better in?
Thank you
You're welcome! :)
than you for this video
Np!
I am so thankful for this video, I have been trying to research all over today about using wooden wicks! :) I am experimenting with coconut apricot wax and I have been seeing conflicting information on whether I can even use wood wicks or not, lol. I would really LIKE to use WW and hope that I can find "the sweet spot" if one exists with wood wicks. =)
;) glad you enjoyed! Good luck to you! :)
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks! I'm pretty sure I'll need all the luck I can get! 🤞🤞🤞
I’m currently using the .02 x .75 booster and it works amazing for 3” jars or larger
Awesome! Which wax are you using?
@@BlackTieBarn Coco Apricot Creme. I use it in the straight sided tumbler from Candle Science and the translucent Aura from Wooden Wick. I’m currently testing .02 x .375 booster for the 4oz mini from candle science
I am also testing the .03x .75 with 6006. I recently did the .5 and .625 and they don’t burn well.
I'm so happy to see this comment! :D I'm about to start experimenting with wooden wicks in Coco apricot and I've seen info that says that they burn too hot for it! I'm glad it works nicely for you, it gives me hope!
@@butterflymuse2707 it’s a great wax to use and I love the Ht from it. Good luck with your testing
@@christybrooks3729 Thank you! 👏
Think you so much
Np!
Awesome presentation for wood wicks! I didn’t see a link for the guide to watch the types of wicks with types of wax?
I didn't link it because they always change it. Lol. Just to woodenwickco website and search for their guide. I had it linked at one point and it kept changing. Caused more issues. Lol
Thank you for posting this video, so very helpful and informative! I do have a question for you that was not brought up. When i received my wood wicks (cheap, I'll be buying from another source now that i have more information) they came with a recommendation of soaking them in essential oils. Have you tried this? Can you soak them in fragrance oils or does it have to be essential oils only, or bourbon? I have not come across much information on this topic.
😬 I definitely wouldn't be doing that personally.
I'm using the .03 crackling booster wicks height 4" and width is .5. Should I double them or no? Also I'm using soy paraffin wax blend but having a hard time keeping them lit just by using them alone. I'm not sure if I'm using the right ones or if I'm not cutting them properly. 🤔
Really great info thanks! Does anyone know what type of wood the sources/manufactures use?
Can't recall of top of my head but I believe they mention on their website
Great video! I have some questions for you.
Is it necessary to drown the wood wick in oil before using in a jar?
Also I would love to know which kind of wood the manufacturer usually use to make the wood wicks. Is it hard wood, soft wood, treated, untreated wood? Hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance! Regards
Very good video. I do have a question that I could use help with. I make a wooden wick candles in 9 and 12 oz. straight sided jars. I have learned how to get consistency in a burn but it is a pretty labor extensive pour process. I have to probe the candles and melt the tops anywhere from two to three times to get rid of open holes below the surface of the candle. Most of the time it is close to the wick and if left unchecked, once the wick hits an open air pocket and immediately burns down below the surface and gets drown out by the melt pool. It can be managed and avoided by poking holes in the top of each candles to find the cavern beneath the surface but it is definitely take a lot of extra time and is extremely inefficient. I am a small company and do everything myself but if I get to the point I can have employees to scale the business, the cost per candle would be through the roof this way. I average about 15 candles per hour and if I can get to a true one pour and have a finished product read for a label I believe I can get to around 60 an hour over 4 hours.
I currently use C3 or 464 wax at about a 7% load. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Actually a video dealing with caverns and achieving a one pour candle would be great.
Keep up the videos and thank you.
Thanks Travis. So you brought up a common issue. I actually have made a video describing this issue and ways to deal with it (much like you deacribed). Unfortunately.... with many waxes there is not always a way to prevent it. Some waxes just aren't single pour or are prone to sink holes. So other than changing waxes or jars... "fixing" after the fact is pretty common. But like you said. Labor intensive. :/
Hello! I have 3.25” containers using 50% soy 50% coco 83.... what wick size do u recommend? I’m using booster .03/ .625” but after the 3rd burn I notice some soot
The rigidity of the wood wicks is why I’m thinking about going to wood wicks. I hate having to deal with the cotton wicks coming uncentered
Both definitely have pros and cons
I was planning to start only with wood wicks, do you thick this would be risky? thank you
Thank you. What is your typical FO percentage with paraffin and blend? I am one of your customers.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡ Wish me luck I am going to start using woodwicks.....I am from South Africa......I would like to make fragranced jar candles with my waxmelt range😁
❤️ good luck!
Hi Wade, thank you so much for your informative videos! I want to watch them all! 🙆♀ Can you please provide me with the link to the wood wick company's website? I would like to view their wick selection guide as you suggested, but I could not find the link in your description. When I search on the wood wick company, I keep getting referred to makesy. Will you please help? Thank you! 🙋♀
Thanks Kimberly. Yes. Woodenwick changed their name to Makesy recently (after this video was made). You have the right place. :)
Ty so very much for this priceless info. IDK if you’ve seen any candle vids that Jenn on A n N Suds has done where she uses( and sells at Be Scented) but I’ve been trying to research on her double wick/2 kinds of wood technique and was wondering if you have any thoughts on this. Sounds very interesting.Cotton seems like the smarter choice but I’m obsessed with the look of wood, even for the 2 in that I will be pouring. Ty in advance if you have time to answer. You are much appreciated
Hey Laurie, sorry this comment just popped up for me. I've never used double wood wicks. But like any wicking as long as it's appropriately sized it should be fine. I'm sure at some point I'll experiment with 2 woodewicks though
@@BlackTieBarn ty.for answering. So many factors to consider when making candles. Test, test, test 😁
Thank you thank you thank you, I use 6006 wax and was using 3. ,375 wick recommended for my jar but the flame was way to high , so I went down to .3 .25 and the flame was awesome but needed more heat to fully expand , Now I know I can try the 4 .25 ,, the only question I have now why are precut wick less expensive than the custom is there a difference in them thank you
Pre cut is just more work for them because they go back and cut however many you order to the size you request. Custom ate just made on demand I believe
@@BlackTieBarn thank you just ordered in precut it’s way difference in cost I had been ordering custom high price plus extra cost way difference thank for the explanation on wicks has helped me a lot and thanks for the response
I've been testing wood wicks and it may just be psychological but HT seems to be considerably stronger. Wade, have you found that .03 seem to be a bit large for a lot of scents with PB600? .03 looks great but the flame seems to grow longer and longer to a point where I'm not happy 2.5-3 hours in.
Yah any soft waxes cab be temperamental with woodwicks. I've had better luck with woodwicks in 6006, clarus 3022, and higher melt point soys. Less with pb600 so far. Becomes overwicmed quickly often
What size and type would you recommend for a 3” diameter container and IGI6006?
Thank you for sharing! Your channel is so helpful! Do you pour wax over the wooden wicks? I know some makers do that and was wondering your thoughts ?
I do but it's really optional. I do it just because the rest of the wick is in wax already anyway, so make the top and first light consistent with the rest.
@@BlackTieBarn thank you for the feedback 😊
Please, a video about "troubles with wooden wicks" I have tested several, double wick and different diameter jars and the flame extinguishes. I need to know why. Thank you.
Check out some of my videos making wood wick candles. You will see my process including pouring over the wicks. That may help. Also, not all waxes work with well with wood wicks. What wax do you use
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you so much for your answer! I'm gonna watch your other videos. About the wax, I use soy 100% Maybe could be the diameter of the wick, cause the wax melts fast and creates a "small pool" around the wick before reaching the edges. Looks like the wick could have "drowned"
It's a common problem with woodwicks. When you day 100% soy, do you know what kind? Soy is a general term as there are tons of soy waxes and they are not the same. If you have any parasoy like igi 6006 to sample try that and see if you get the same results.
For your wax, try a booster woodwick. You might need the extra heat
I had to come back to your video, I tried a few from amazon, and it was not a good thing at all. My main candle supplier that is close to us, doesn't carry wood. I will try some from another supplier. Anyway, Thanks for making your videos, they are extremely helpful.
Thank you. As a reminder, and discussed in the video, woodenwickco has the patent on most wood wicks. Most suppliers get their wicks from them OR might not be able to sell them consistently
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks, Have a great weekend!
Do you have to pre treat wood wicks before using them?
Thanks for the informative video! I often hear that wood wicks aren't very good for HT. Have you found this to be the case? Do you use a higher FO%?
Not at all. Work just fine for HT. The issue is more their consistency
Wood wicks actually require less fragrance oil, but give a stronger burn + scent throw. So you can get by using way less fragrance oil which is great for profit margins as well. From my experience most wooden wicks perform best and are usually instructed to only use 6% fragrance.
Something on the different fragrant oils with wood wicks-I recently have had a low flame on three test candles and it’s a different company for my oils. Other candles are great and I’m using more heavier scented oils from CScience. It’s a 9 oz. straight sided jar 2 3/4 diameter. Any recommendations on wick size as well please? Thank you!
Sorry, just saw this. I occasionally missed one here and there. Especially as the comments increase.
Its hard for me to recommend anything without using those specific oils myself. There are some I just can't use in certain waxes or with certain wicks. There isn't an easy straight forward answer to those situations unfortuantely. I just experiment until I find something that works. Because of each these sutations is unique to the wax, the oil, the vessel, and the wick
Thank you for sharing such valuable information. Do you ever use the X wood wicks?
no problem. only once and haven't really done much testing since
What do you do with test candles and candles that don’t make it on shelves? Curios I have so many lol
Reuse some for testing if you can. Otherwise for personal use or remove wax for fire starters.
I can't wait to test my sanity with trying out wood wicks. lol ~ Have you ever done a video about adding colors? I just did an experiment and accidentally added too much black...as it sits there curing it smells like shoe polish and the fragrance. Will that dissipate ? Its a beautiful looking navy but the smell..lol...smells like a prank candle.
Lol. I haven't but I definitely can. But yep, adding too much dye can definitely create a chemical smell. Most of it goes away but too much and it will linger. Unfortunately it will also likely clog the wick and cause poor burning and/or soot. :/
@@BlackTieBarn : Thanks! almost 48 hours later and its a lot less prank candle scented. lol ~ Now I have to wait & two weeks to see if it smells like a gas station on fire or the fragrance. 🤣 Happy New Year! Thanks for all the great uploads you post!
😆 happy new year! :)
Can you use any wax with these wooden wicks like para soy blend or are they only used for soy wax. I just read thru 200 comments. I found the answer.yes I can use them in para soy blend🤗
Yep. Always test of course, but most soy paraffin, and parasoy works
Such a crack up with your white board illustrations!
What’s the appropriate measurement when adding fragrance oil/oils and what size bottle would you recommend to be the most reasonable to purchase for rookies (4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz)?
😆😅 yah I was having a little fun. Keeps videos more engaging. :)
I'd probably start with 4 or 8 and make sure you like before investing too much. Or the 1oz samples but I don't find those are enough to test with. Plus if you make wax melts as too, even if you end up not liking it for candles you can use the rest for melts. :)
@@BlackTieBarn
Thanks for the help! I saw the 1 oz too and questioned how far it would go, like a couple drops (potent stuff).
Nah. You need anywhere between 1oz and 1.5oz per pound of wax. So the 1oz is enough to make a couple small candles at most.
I read somewhere that you have to put a special label on your candle if you use WW
Can you explain what that is?
On the wooden wickco website they have some instructions on what you be added to label or product description. I need to check them out to see if the info has changed.
Dip wood wicks in wax before wicking jar? Yay or nay?
I don't. But I do pour over the wick when making. Check out a couple of my woodeick videos and you will see what I mean. I don't have the link on hand but if you go to all my videos and search "wood" should find them. ;)
With wooden wicks, what’s the proper/ideal melt pool depth? Specifically with parasoy, or anything in general is fine. Thank you!
You or didn't necessarily get deeper then regular wick. But it will become wider across the top faster because it's a wider flame. But I would follow mostly the fans general principles beyond that. Never want it too deep if at all possible. Anything beyond 1/2 inch is usually excessive.
@@BlackTieBarn insightful! after how many minutes should it be 1/2 inch?
No way to really answer that as it will depend on jar size, number of wicks, and wax. It will vary a lot. Just know that if it happens pretty quickly its okay with wooden wicks. Just keep testing all the way through to make sure it keeps burning well. If it takes more than 3 hours with woodwicks you may need to consider wicking up. Just depends

Your miss spell made me laugh so hard. Lol 😂
@@20julijuls OMG!!!! I just saw it after your post. :) So embarrassing. lol. I cant believe no one noticed before you did. I just corrected it. lol. Hell, I'm laughing uncontrollably now. HAHA!
You may have answered this and I missed it. Do you get a better burn when you dip it into wax before placing it and burning it ?
I don't dip them at all. 99% of the wick is already covered in the wax when you pour them. :)
The only thing I do is our over the wick when pouring so that the top was consistent with the rest. Check out my woodwick making video to see what I mean. :)
