CD-12 - 6" Cotton Candle Wick Pre-waxed (Bag of 100)

CD-12 (6") Pre-Waxed Cotton Wick

The CD-12 wick is a robust medium-large wick, perfect for larger jars and candles around 3.5″ in diameter. It’s pre-waxed and comes with a tab, so it’s simple to set up in your container. CD-12 is a go-to wick for candles in big jars (like large apothecary jars or big tumblers) where you need a dependable flame to achieve a full melt pool across a wider surface.

• Recommended Jar Diameter: Approximately 3.25″–3.5″ diameter containers. This wick excels in large candles such as 16 oz jars or other wide-mouth containers around three and a half inches across.

• Maximum Jar Height: 6″ wick length can handle taller jars up to about 5″ of fill height. Whether your jar is short or tall, CD-12 gives you enough wick to reach the bottom and still trim to the proper length for burning.

• Wax Compatibility: Reliable in both soy wax and paraffin wax candles. The CD-12’s sturdy braided cotton design is engineered to maintain a consistent, even burn, even in slower-melting natural waxes. If you’re making a soy candle in a big jar, this wick is often a great choice to start testing with.

• Flame & Burn Performance: Burns with a robust, steady flame that can create a deep melt pool across a larger surface area. Despite its strength, the flame remains controlled – the self-trimming wick design keeps soot and mushrooming to a minimum. Your large candles will burn evenly from edge to edge, and you won’t have to fuss much with the wick between burns.

Usage Instructions: Affix the CD-12 wick to the center bottom of your container using a wick sticker or hot glue. Make sure it stays centered (a wick holder can help with this) when you pour in your hot wax. Let the candle cool completely, then trim the wick down to ~1/4″. It’s important to test burn your large candle – if you notice the melt pool isn’t reaching the jar edges or the flame is struggling, you may need to try a larger wick size or even consider double-wicking for very wide jars. Generally, CD-12 will do the job for most jars in its size range when properly tested and trimmed.
