As a firestarter, I'm really impressed with his ability to make things catch on fire and stay that way. 😂

I made wooden wick candles as Christmas gifts this year and had trouble with them tunneling and going out at first. This video is SO helpful, especially the myth busters! I tend to get overwhelmed, but your practical, easygoing style made me confident I can do this. Thanks for putting so much thought and effort into your videos!

This helped me a lot, thank you! I have been getting frustrated with my wooden wicks, I couldn't get them to stay lit. Your tutorial helped and now I've solved the problem.

The most informative video I have found for wooden wicks.

Candle making has it’s own culture, it’s own world and it has a collection of really interesting characters. Making candles is intriguing. It has it’s roots in how our fore bearers rendered animal fats for lamps and finally bees wax was discovered eons ago. Candle making is noble, creative, artisan, necessary, fun and enjoyable and now intellectually speculative when the science of it is a discussion as to wicks and lighting efficiency. I found it interesting. Good video.

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.

Great info Stephen! I noticed it doesn't burn down all the way and was thinking maybe I should use regular wicks for small candles. At first I didn't understand but now I get it. You're referring to the round metal tabs to put the wick in? I haven't used regular wicks yet.

Thank you for the video! I’ve been having issues finding the right wick so I’m going to back to the drawing board, test one more size, if I’m not happy with that, back to wooden wicks. My supplier didn’t have many sizes available unfortunately

I love your videos. They been helping me craft better candles. I always been in making my own spiritual candles where I add oils and herbs to a vigil candle. But as of last month I decided to start crafting and making my own candles from scratch. Your videos has been helping out when it come to the cotton wick because my wick kept getting choked out in the beginning now they're burning just right thanks to you. I been wondering about wooden wick and this video is just perfect. I love your editing of your videos and the way you structure the delivery of the information. Flows really nicely. Thank you for the time for making this. I follow you on all your social media. Except pinterest I don't think i found a pinterest account for you which if you don't got one I think you should really utilize that platform it's meant for purchasing or making a purchase decision.

Sometimes 1 wick isn't enough to form a full melt pool when the mouth of the container is too wide. Having multiple wicks helps you achieve a full melt pool.

Not really. If it was in an unscented candle, you might be able to catch a tiny wiff of it, but not much smell to it otherwise.

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.

Tim, thank you for another great video! 2 years ago I started out with wooden wicks in 4 oz. tins (GB 464) and the first time around, got it wrong - and this is why folks you ALWAYS want to test FIRST! Fortunately I had only made 6 and went back to the drawing board to actually test correctly. I tried 3 different sizes and was never quite satisfied so I gave up on them. I loved the novelty of it. However, after watching your video I now see I didn't go far enough. So thank you, I have renewed hope and as always after watching your videos, more knowledge. I am going to try again as I would like to offer wood-wick candles on my site. Thank you Sir! I appreciate your generosity of time and information! :-)

What wooden wicks worked the best as far as for size, flame and scent throw?

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?

Great video! What is the diameter of the tins you used? Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make such a thorough video! Thank you in advance for the response to my question re: diameter of the tins used! I was trying to read the writing on your tins and thought 1/2” was written. Is that correct?
