General rule to What Wick to Buy ??
Choosing a wick size can be a tricky business, especially as it is partly trial and error depending on wax, amount of colouring and scent etc. The size of wick you require is governed by the width of candle you want to make. You are trying to achieve a wax pool the whole width of the candle. The length is not as important especially when buying by the metre as it can be cut to length. So measure the width of your container or mould and this will be the size of the wick you want. This is the figure shown next to the wick in the wick guide. Sadly, these figures can only be given as a guide, and generally you will need to test the wicks to see what suits you and your blend.
All wick size guides are based on plain unscented wax, so when adding fragrance and colouring, you will generally need to go a size or maybe two bigger.It is sadly a bit of trial and error before you get it right.
When you get it right, remember to keep notes as to what worked for you.
