This
is a round wick with a uniquely braided cotton core designed with
tension threads that give the wick a slight, but effective, curl
during combustion. The wick is directional in that capillary action
flows more freely in one direction. Due to their intricate design, the
RRD series provides a centered burn pool, self-trimming burn
characteristics and a consistently high rate of fuel flow.
These
wicks work well with viscous fuels such as vegetable wax, gels and
one pours. They are effective in containers and especially useful in
pillars due to their concentric burn pools.
The
RRD series wicks are primed in a high melt point paraffin wax, cut to
a 6” length and tabbed with a 20mm round tab with a 6mm neck.
*RRD series wicks are
tested and sized based on use in a Straight Paraffin Wax with No
Additives. Wicks are based on the WIDEST area diameter of the jar you
plan to use. This is typically not measured at the opening unless the
container is perfectly straight up and down.

We
can not guarantee any certain wick to work best in any application
because of the many variables involved. But we can get you started on
the right track! The only way to determine the appropriate wick
selection is through experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to
determine the best wicks for your candles!
