Wooden Wicks. The Soft Wood Series wooden wicks are very easy to use and add unique appeal to finished candles. This is the perfect wooden wick complete with custom tabs, which are made of stainless steel to prevent any wax discoloration. They are suitable to be used in paraffin, soy, or gel wax.
A candle consists of a wick and wax and is made by placing the wick into the wax, which is molded, dipped, extruded, pressed, rolled, drawn or filled into the size and shape that is desired. When you light a candle, the flame produces heat and melts the wax near the wick.he liquid/melted wax is drawn up into the wick by capillary action. The heat vaporizes the liquid wax to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. A candle that is made well, no matter what the candles are made from, will not produce smoke when it is burning.
