Cozyours Braided Candle Wick Spool 100ft, Metal Sustainer Tabs 100 pcs

As advertised, the package contained the spool of braided, unwaxed coton wick and a small ziplock type of bag with the circular metal sustainer tabs. The wick MUST be waxed prior to first use in a candle by either dipping into molten wax while making the candle, or by dripping molten wax onto the wick before you light the candle—without wax the wick will just burn up immediately. I have used the waxed wick and sustainer tabs (which keep the wick upright as it burns down) to make several votive candles and to re-wick a larger candle. The two votive candles on the left of the picture have their original wicks, while the two votive candles on the right are the ones I remade using these wicks and sustainers plus some excess unburned wax from some old candles. If you look carefully you will see that the braided cotton wicks in the votives I made with this kit (right) are very slightly larger than the wicks in the original votive candles (left). The resulting flames are also slightly larger for these reconstructed votive candles and the result is that the wax is more completely consumed (right) rather than having a hole burned down into it which typically happens with the original votive candles (left). The larger flames make these votive candles more suitable for powering a German Christmas Pyramid, which is what we use them for. On the far right in the picture is a re-wicked larger candle, which I constructed by drilling a small hole throught the middle if the candle and then drawing the wick through with a tiny , hooked wire and then putting the sustainer on the base and waxng the wick on top. The hole in the sustainer is slightly larger than the diameter of the unwaxed wick. You could crimp the metal around the wick, but I chose to just tie a small knot in the wick and pull that into the sustainer to fasten it. That way, I can re-use the sustainer after each candle has burned down. But if you choose to do this type of thing, be very careful of the quality of wax that you are using!! In previous experimentation I found that using wax from old Birthday cake candles resulted in large, uncontrollable, and quite dangerous flames whereas wax from old Votive candles seems to burn in a more controlled fashion. So if you choose to do this, you must be very, very careful of the results or risk a fire!

I read how to twist your own from cotton balls or string, but these wicks are braided line and there are sustainer tabs to keep them straight and flowing to the bottom of your bottle or cup. Cool ! It's really hard to keep a wick straight without some type of retainer. Good product, arrived quickly along with the bag Soy Wax; I'm anxious to try the system out.

The price was right, especially for the amount of wick and anchors you get. However, make sure you soak the wick in oil or wax before use or it doesn't burn well. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy it again.

I bought this to make mini candles out of recycled oui jars and the wick burns really well no smoke, soot or tunneling it burned up all the wax in the jar which is about 2.5” wide as you can see from pics. On top of that I received two free ebooks on making candles which was a great value. Just a tip for users you should definitely soak the wick in the type of wax you plan on using for your candles I followed the instructions to a T when working with my own soy blend and I’m glad I did. Hope this review helps...

The wicks were easy to work with and I had no trouble centering the wick which I was concerned with. All in all I would be buying them again next time I need wicks.

I am not sure if it is the candle I made is too hard for this wick or the wick. I doubled the wick and it still burn faster than my candle, so I got holes in the candle, now I will have to remelt them and use a different wick to reuse it.

I bought a bunch of Illume candles that burn so poorly. I was left with over a 3rd of the wax in every jar. With this wick, I twist two strands, tie at the bottom, push through the stands and wallah, all is right again with my world of constant candle burning. I also love that you can customize the length of each wick. Great value for the money!

I been making candles as a hobby for 45 years and this is a good kit. I like to wax a three foot section at a time before cutting down to size needed. The tabs are small but does the trick. I will buy this kit again later.

キャンドルをすんなり型抜きできるなら心配ないと思いますが、今回細いモールドから取り出そうと糸を引っ張ったら切れました。しかも3本も。糸が切れてしまうとキャンドルも使えずかなりショックでした。 はっきり言って強度はない糸です。 試しに手で軽く引っ張ってみたら中の何本か切れました。 もう買いません！

These do the job - I'm happy.
