TCR Candle Wick
TCR Candle Wick
The TCR candle wick is an unbleached, self-trimming candle wick suitable for natural waxes including soy and rapeseed. The wick is made from cotton entwined with a thread of paper. The core of this wick has a supportive external jacket which is designed to eliminate sooting and minimise mushrooming. The smallest sizes are also suitable for natural tealights.
Options
- Raw (Unwaxed) Wick – Specified number of metres supplied on a cardboard bobbin as a continuous, string-like wick. This format is for you to cut to the length you require and wax yourself.
- Waxed & Tabbed Wicks – pre-waxed with natural wax and fitted with a 15 mm metal sustainer tab. Supplied in packs of 50. To order larger volumes, update the quantity as needed in multiples of 50 (i.e. x20 for a quantity of 1000). Lengths available: 80 mm, 120 mm, and 160 mm.
- Waxed wicks are available with an adhesive pad attached to the sustainer, making it easy to securely attach the wick to your candle container. Adhesive wick pads are also sold separately if you prefer to apply them yourself.
