As a firefighter, I'm really impressed with your commitment to safety & integrity. You set an example for the community.

Just a tip I discovered using wood wicks. The wick clip made for the wooden wicks works great but is rather large. This causes the candle to not burn all the way down. This can be more of a problem in small candles. I have used wick tabs made for regular wicks by just putting a slot in the part you crimp down and inserting wood wick into this slot and lightly crimping. I found this works fairly well and burns all the way down.

The most informative video I have found for wooden wicks.

What's your take on using mica with wood wicks? I've seen people use mica in the wax and seen people coat the wick itself with mica so there's a coloured flame? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you so much. I’m new to the trade and you just eliminated every other “teacher” I’ve seen. I hope the rest of your instructions are as clear, concise & practical as these. My first guess would be Army or Marine 1st Seargent just based on appearance and teaching style. Thanks again and I’ll see you in the next video.

I make massage candles...I wonder if a wooden wick would be good for them?

[Melkeller]

My question for you Tim, is with the wooden wicks that you cut off can you use them for other candles if they are long enough to fit thecandle or is it just one use?

[jamiemccullers]

Great Information.I needed this.I have the hardest time trying to find the proper wick.You have been a great help.Thanks

[SherylOsborne-ye]

how high should the flame be? Is an inch or more too high?

[askavettech]

can you use wooden wicks in gel candles?

[omshieldsla]

Hi Tim, new to your video's and I was very impressed your knowledge. I'm using Apricot/Coco wax and my candle vessel is 3.5 at the top. Would I use the 3/8" booster wick?

[Queenofthethrone-xs]

So if I am using a 16 oz candle jar how many wooden wicks would i use and which type would it be the booster or which please help?

[oJohnnyoo]

Amazing, thank you. I am curious what you do with the wax and wooden wicks that failed the tests? Can you reuse the wicks again?
