Description
How to Use
Wicking Guide
Fil-Tec's Ultra-Core wicks are a 100% natural alternative to zinc core wicks - they offer the rigidity of zinc, but without the metal wire. A specially-treated, all fiber-core wick, the wick is fully consumed during the burn. Currently available in 100 packs only.
Features and Benefits:
6" wick
20mm tab, 6mm neck
Rigidity (remains straight) when both filling and burning the candle
Designed for no curl when burning and minimal mushrooming
Performs well in all waxes: coconut, soy, beeswax, blends, paraffin, etc
Shorter, hotter flames with no soot
No zinc or paper core; lead and zinc free
Unmatched consistency from batch to batch
Ultra Core wicks' knitted fiber construction allows for increased capillary flow, which basically means that they make it easier for the fuel (the wax and the fragrance) to flow into the wick and burn off. This is how it should work, so you get a candle with excellent scent throw and a proper melt pool without any tunneling.
Ultra Core wicks can be used with virtually any wax. However, as with any wick, you'll need to perform wick tests to find the ideal wax, oil and wick combination.
Using Ultra Core wicks in low melt point waxes (like coconut)? You may want to try sizing down since the wicks burn hotter.
Using Ultra Core wicks with harder waxes (like beeswax)? You may need to wick up.
We're sure you're going to love these wicks!
Wicking Guide
The following is provided by the manufacturer Fil-Tec. Note that their testing was performed using paraffin wax, so you will probably get different results based on your wax, oil, container, etc. Fil-Tec named their wicks based on the melt pool diameter they achieved when testing.
