What Is a Pillar Candle Wick Holder?
A wick holder bar, sometimes called a wick centering bar, is placed across the opening of a candle mold to hold the wick in position while molten wax is poured and while the candle cools. Keeping the wick properly positioned helps produce a straighter, more evenly centered wick in the finished pillar candle.
What Is Candle Mold Sealer Used For?
Candle mold sealer is a pliable sealing material used to help close the wick hole at the bottom of a candle mold. After the wick is threaded through the mold, the sealer is pressed around the opening to help prevent melted beeswax or other candle wax from leaking out.
24-Ply Flat Braid Wick for Beeswax Candles
Flat braid cotton wick is commonly used for beeswax pillar candle making because its braided construction provides a consistent wick structure for molded candles. The correct wick size for a finished candle depends on several factors, including the candle's diameter, wax formulation, additives, fragrance, and burning conditions.
Because wick performance varies by candle design, always conduct a test burn before producing or selling finished candles.
