Safely turn two pots into a double boiler system. Top pot is cradled by hot water and never touches the lower pot so wax can only heat up to 212F or 100C so combustion cannot occur.

Square Braid Wick was originally designed for use beeswax candles because the structure of the beeswax molecule needs a specific type of surface to climb in the wick system. Nowadays this wick has proven useful in all types of candle systems. This unique construction combined with our chemical treatment processes make it an excellent choice for waxes that are highly viscous when molten, like beeswax and vegetable wax. Features: Engineered to curl while burning, minimizing carbon build-up. Square Braid wick is constructed of 100% natural fibers Treated with chemical flame retardant treatments to improve burn qualities. Raw wick. Needs to be primed before use. Wick tabs sold separately.

Size Number Definition - Three Numbers  First number indicates the actual wick size.  The size is determined by how many individual threads were braided into the wick. The larger the number the larger the wick.  Generally the higher the number the bigger the melt pool and higher rate of wax consumption. Second number depicts the speed that the thread is sent through the braiding machine.  The larger the number, the faster the speed and the tighter the braid.  The tighter the braid the slower the wax consumption. Third number indicates a code for the temperature at which the finished wick is primed with wax.  Various temperatures of wax may be needed depending on the wick size, braid tension and wax molecular structure.   Wick Designation Yield(yds/lb) ROC(oz/hr) Flame Height(inches) Pool Diameter(inches) 44-24-18 Z    322    0.15     1.13     1.63 51-32-18 Z 255 0.18 1.33 1.77 60-44-18 Z 209 0.23 1.62 1.95
