Getting to the perfect wick for your candle might be tricky, and sometimes needs a little trial and error. There are so many factors that affect the burn performance of a wick. The type of wax, the dye, type and amount of fragrance, type of container etc. All our wicks show the diameter they are designed to melt, but it is not precise. Please look at the description for the wick when buying to give best indication of the one you need. LX is designed to work best with paraffin wax, ECO, TCR and Stabile are designed to work with natural waxes.

Sorry, at this time we do not sell beeswax, nor have wicks specifically designed for it. We might add this in the future however if there is sufficient demand.

Once it reaches the maximum the wax will either separate out and drop to the bottom, or it will slowly leech out of the finished candle. We recommend adding 5-8ml of fragrance oil to 100g of wax (commonly called 5-8%). This can be increased to up to 10% but we recommend not more than 8% as a rule for highly scented candles. Also STIR the wax well to make the oil as thoroughly mixed in as you can, being careful to follow the waxes temperature guidelines for pouring and mixing.

We sell two types of dye, and the amount needed is different for both Bekro dye is more expensive per gram but is far stronger and used at 1-2g per kg of wax. Trust us when we say this dye is the best we have found! It is the one used by the factories. The other option is liquid dye, a little goes along way with this dye so is really cost effective and strong. NOTE. When using natural wax you often need to use more dye than for paraffin wax. Percentages can be changed to give a stronger or lighter colour depending on what you are aiming for. Also colours can be blended to give almost any shade/colour you are looking for. We recommend you test a little wax by letting it cool before you add more colours as of course it is impossible to lessen the amount of dye once added!
