Wooden Wick Won't Stay Lit? How to Choose the Right Wooden Wick Size

Wooden wick won't stay lit? Not sure what wooden wick size you need? In today's Soulful Sundays, I'm breaking down wooden wicks based on what I've learned from actually using and testing them in my candle business since 2022. When I first started working with wooden wicks, baby...I had QUESTIONS. 😂 Why wouldn't the wick stay lit? What did all those sizes mean? What's the difference between width and thickness? And how do you know which wooden wick to use for your candle? We're getting into all of it. In this video, I'm talking about wooden wick sizing, width vs. thickness, different supplier sizing systems, wooden wick styles, trimming, testing, and some of the mistakes I've made along the way. I'll also show you some of the wooden wicks I've worked with and explain why a supplier's wick guide is only a starting point. Your wax, fragrance oil, vessel, wick, and overall candle formula work together, which is why burn testing matters. Whether you're a beginner candle maker or you've been making candles for a while and wooden wicks still have you scratching your head, I hope this helps make them a little less confusing. 🕯️🔥 Supplier recommendations get you started. Burn testing gives you the answer. 📥 FREE WOODEN WICK SIZE GUIDE I created a FREE Wooden Wick Size Guide to go along with today's video so you don't have to screenshot the graphic. 😂 Use it as a quick reference for wooden wick width, thickness, common wick shapes, sizing considerations, and testing tips.
