A&P Zinc Core
Series Spooled Wick:
A&P Zinc Core Series Wicks have a cotton outer braid surrounding a thin
filament of zinc. Zinc core wick produces the coolest flame and offers the
most rigidity of all cored wick, providing support during pouring and
burning. These wicks are constructed with 100% natural fibers.
The
Zinc core wick produces a cooler flame but offers more rigidity amd longer
burn times.
Concern over trace
elements of lead has resulted in the Consumer Product Safety Commission
defining a lead cored wick to be one containing greater than .06% lead by
weight in the metal. Zinc wire has a maximum level of lead impurities of
.004%, well below the standard. Zinc wicks are considered
Lead Free
A&P Zinc Core
Series Wicks are raw, they are not wax primed, not cut and not tabbed.
*A&P Zinc Core Series Wicks
are tested and sized based on use in a Straight Paraffin Wax with No
Additives. Wicking is based on the WIDEST area diameter of the candle you plan to make. This is typically not measured at the opening unless the container is
perfectly straight up and down.

*We can only offer recommendations as to wick sizes and applications, but we
cannot guarantee any certain wick to work in a certain application because of
too many variables involved. The only way to determine the appropriate wick
selection is by experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to determine the
best wick for your candles! For testing, we offer for purchase, sample packs
that contain 5 of each size wick within a
series.
