Atkins & Pearce Performa Wicks
Performa wick is a non-curling flat braided wick with a straight burn profile. These features promote a more symmetrical wax pool and self-trimming posture. Its reinforced design provides increased rigidity in the wax pool as well as in drawing some of the harder to burn viscous waxes.
Performa wick is appropriate for applications such as tapers, pillars, beeswax, viscous waxes and medium to large containers.
