The Stabilo series is a flat braided wick construction which combines threads made of the highest grade ring-spun cotton with paper filaments for extra stability. The series comprises a wide range of wick sizes to cover small to large diameter applications. Wick is unwaxed.
Sold by the metre.
This wick is used for soy, coconut, olive and paraffin candles.
Each wick has a specific number of threads, indicated by the number in the wick name. The higher the number, the larger the diameter of the candle this wick is meant for. The diameter represents the size of the wax pool in cm that will form around the wick as the candle burns. The candle diameters listed are suggestions based on standard results. They should be taken as a starting point for testing purposes only, as burning rates may well differ due to variations in wax type, wax manufacturer, added fragrances and dyes and the preparation process.
