A&P Ply Flat Braid Cotton Wick:
Flat braid wick has a decorative appearance and
is commonly used in dipped or molded self-supporting candles, such as tapers
and pillars. This wick is designed to provide a slight bend when burned, which
allows for an even burn and a reduction of carbon formation (mushroom) at the
wicks tip.
A&P Flat Braid Ply Wicking is sold
raw and unprimed. Choose from 100' size or a 1 pound spool.
24 ply approx. 1506 feet
per pound, 30 ply approx. 1173 feet per pound, 36 ply approx. 975 feet per
pound & 45 ply approx. 741 feet per pound.
*A&P Ply Cotton
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 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!
