Never underestimate the power of the wick! In this video @StandleyHandcrafted & Charlotte explain how to find the right candle wicks for your chosen project. They talk about the difference between crackling wood wicks and whisper wood wicks and show you shaped wood wicks like our spiral and tube wood wicks, which create unique flame shapes when burned.
Using a crackling wood wick in your candle making is a great option to make your candles stand out - especially next to other brands using cotton wicks. Learn about selecting the right candle wick for your wax type and vessel size. If you don't have the right wick, you won't get the ideal melt pool or the longest burn time. To find your ideal wick, make sure you check out our wick selection guide!

Love this series! We've learned the right stuff: right wick, right jar, right wax. So I'd love to see a video on what are the "red flags" to look out for. Like what are some no-no's in candle making.
Yay! Just got my first package from WWC and I forgot I ordered the wick sample kit!
I can’t wait to figure out which works best with my vessel and candle design.
Will be using the virgin coconut soy for the first time! Time to test!!
Good luck 🍀 I’m waiting on my package 📦 can’t wait !
Reather's Girls There was a slight delay and I have the rest of my order coming in a different package but it wasn’t that bad of a wait time. Almost 2 weeks! Good luck to you!! 🤗
Excited for the upcoming video! Hopefully I’ll have my kit by then 😆
Hi guys I’m going to use the coco apricot wax in a 4 inch diameter so it’s a multi wick candle the suggested thickness is 0.02 but I’m not sure what width to use
For a multi wick candle you can use 2 x .02 x .375 and burn test. If you don't get a full melt in 2-3 hours we recommend moving up to the 2 x .02 x .5
I’m using your bee wax blend. In your glass translucent tumbler 12 ounce vessel. What wick and size do you suggest
We recommend the .03 Crackling Booster for Beeswax Coco Creme! A .625 width is a good place to start burn testing.
I got my wicks and one of them burns beautifully, no soot, no smoke but it flickers like crazy. Is that something to worry about?
Love the video. Which wax blend would you recommend works best with essential oils instead of fragrance oils?
That is an excellent question!!! One with a lower melt temperature! Our Beeswax Coco Creme is great because its 100% natural and has an optimal melt & pour temp from 140-150. F :) woodenwick.com/collections/the-wax/products/beeswax-coco-creme-1
What kind and size of wick should I use for 4627 comfort blend wax. My vessels are 8oz tin cans and 8 oz embossed jars. Please help

I am fro Saudi Arabia, do have worldwide shipments?
Hey there! Yes, we do :)
How long does it usually take to get a melt pool or does it vary?
With the right wick, typically around 2 hours!
@@makesyofficial thank you
Do you ship to UK?
Yes! We ship internationally :)
@@makesyofficial Hi, Thank you for your quick response, I was scrolling through your website but didn't find any information regarding shipping internationally. If there's any specific page, would you be kind enough to share the link? Thank you
I get that the nature of the wicks from your business is wood, but not everybody makes wooden wick candles. It would be appreciated if you could please give some insight to cotton wicks or other wicks too. Thanks
Christy Brooks on Stanley’s channel he actually reviews and tests the virgin coconut soy from the Wooden Wick Co with wicks other than a wooden wick. 🙂 I hope that helps your researching process!
Great to see it. I did it too. The plans from Woodglut helped me a lot :)
Mine works too. I used the Stodoys plans and performed it without any problems.
Now Jeff you know i love you but you are NOT practicing social distancing🤬
