Choosing the Right Wax and Clip

Why Do You Need the Clip?

In the past, the clip was a “taken for granted” part of the candle. Today, that is not so. Today, the clip takes on new responsibility in providing an increasingly important measure of safety to the user. As the longer length clip safely extinguishes the flame as it enters the barrel, your concerns about trapped heat or igniting residue at the bottom of the candle also diminish.

In the cost savings area, our new line of self-centering wick-clip assemblies will now allow you to drop and pour, saving time and money, fingers and glue.

Choosing the Appropriate Wax

Choose the appropriate wickwax for your candle. When using non-metal cored wicks, there is the potential challenge of the wick-wax melting and the wicks flopping upon pour. A similar situation can occur in a 180° burn pool where the standard wick-wax will melt, and the wick may wind up floating in the burn pool. These issues can be rectified by using a 210° high melt wax in conjuction with the non-metal cored wicks.

For those customers offering 100% plant-derived candles, we offer a 100% vegetable based wickwax.
