Wedo LX Candle Wick
Wedo LX Candle Wick
The Wedo LX candle wick is a very thin flat cotton wick which is suited to both paraffin and natural waxes. It is very effective in paraffin waxes with a low melt point in particular – such as the Chandler Grey PRO Container wax. It is common to find that you must use a much larger size of the LX wick when using a natural candle wax. The Wedo LX wick’s performance can be hindered by large fragrance loads or essential oils.
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.
