Wick Sizing & Testing

Five pages on the single variable that decides whether a candle works. Wick sizing is not a lookup — it is a test, and this is how to run it properly.

Inside:

• How the wick series actually differ: CD, ECO, LX, CDN, HTP and wood
• Sizing method: start point by diameter, then test up or down
• What fragrance oil, dye and wax type each do to the required wick size
• Reading a melt pool: full, partial, and the depth that means you went too big
• Double wicking — the container diameter where it becomes necessary, and spacing
• The five wick failures and which direction to move to fix each

What you get: instant digital download. 5 pages of content, supplied print-ready in both A4 and US Letter inside the same PDF. Not editable. No physical item is shipped.

Safety: candle making involves hot wax and open flame. Every recipe states melt and pour temperatures and fragrance load limits — follow them. Never leave melting wax unattended, and always burn-test a new recipe before selling or gifting it.
