In most cases, wick size is determined by the width of the candle you are making. However, there are many variables that go into matching a candle with the proper size wick. Always test burn to determine the proper size wick.
This wick can be used with both hand rolled and solid beeswax candles. The square braid wick is not primed/coated with wax.
Shipped at no additional cost.
Here's a guide for solid candles, but the best advice to finding the right wick is to test, test and test again!

2/0 size wick for taper candles measuring approximately ¾" wide
3/0 size wick for thin taper candles measuring approximately ½" wide

When test burning your candles, remember to allow them to burn at least 1 hour per inch of width, so that the wax pool has a chance to reach the edge of the candle.
