The LX22 candle wick is a heavy-duty, flat-braid wick engineered for high-performance burning in large pillar candles. Made from premium, pure ring-spun cotton, the LX22 is specifically designed to provide the necessary heat and capillary action to create a full melt pool in wide-diameter moulded candles.
Product Specifications & Ideal Use
-
Optimal candle diameter: Designed for pillar candles with a diameter of 80mm or larger.
-
Wax compatibility: Best suited for paraffin wax and CA60 candle wax.
- Construction: Pure cotton, flat-braided design that curls slightly while burning to self-trim and reduce carbon buildup.
The Importance of Priming for Large Wicks
When working with a wick as thick as the LX22, priming is essential for a professional result. Because large pillars contain a significant volume of wax, an unprimed wick can trap air during the pouring process.
To prime your LX22 wick:
-
Dip the raw wick into hot, melted wax.
-
Ensure the wax penetrates the cotton fibres.
-
Benefit: This process displaces air within the braid, significantly reducing the risk of internal cavities and air pockets forming near the wick as your large candle solidifies.
