Burn diameter: 6 ply - up to 20mm (twisted wick)
Introducing our premium quality candle making cotton wicks, the perfect choice for crafting beautiful and long-lasting pillar candles. Unwaxed and made from 100% natural cotton, our wicks have been expertly manufactured right here in Australia to ensure the highest standards of quality. They can be used with a variety of moulds, including silicone and acrylic (PVC) moulds.
Using our candle making cotton wicks couldn't be easier. Simply use a wicking needle to thread the wick through your mould, and then pour in your melted wax. Use a wick holder to keep the wick straight and centered as the wax cools and solidifies, ensuring that your finished candle burns beautifully. For acrylic moulds, ensure you cover the wick hole with blu tack to prevent wax from leaking.
Wick recommendations are provided in the description of all our moulds. However, please note that the burn diameters are approximate and personal testing will be required, as these measurements will be affected by different waxes, colours, fragrances, and climates.
Important Note: Our braided wicks are provided on a spool for easy handling. However, twisted wicks and sample sizes are supplied loose and may become tangled. This is due to the nature of their manufacturing process. Thank you for understanding.

How To Use
Acrylic PVC Candle Moulds:
To use this candle mould, simply start by threading the wick through the center of the mould and securing it in place with a wick holder. Use blu tack to cover the wick hole to prevent leakage before pouring melted wax into the mould. Depending on the type of wax you are using, you may need to perform a second pour to even out the surface of the candle. Allow your candle to cure overnight before carefully unmoulding it. If the candle gets stuck, squeeze around the mould to release the candle from the sides.
Silicone Candle Moulds:
To use our candle moulds, simply start by threading the wick through the center of the mould and securing it in place with a wick holder. Then, pour in your melted wax and let it cool until it hardens. Depending on the type of wax you are using, you may need to perform a second pour to even out the surface of the candle. Allow your candle to cure overnight before carefully unmoulding it.
Concrete Trays & Vessels:
To make the most of your vessel mould, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Begin by gathering your selected material and ensure it's mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pouring: Carefully fill the mould with your chosen material, ensuring it reaches the top.
- Air Bubble Removal: For a smoother finish, gently tap the mould on a sturdy surface to encourage any trapped air bubbles to rise to the surface.
- Curing: Adhere to the recommended curing time for your chosen material.
- Demoulding: Once the material has set and cured, carefully flex and remove the mould to unveil your creation.
- If your tray or vessel will be used for candles, it is vital to seal it with a heat-resistant sealer. Apply at least two coats to both the interior and exterior of the vessel. Ensure the sealant is fully dry before pouring in the wax.
