The self-trimming wick stance minimizes or eliminates carbon deposit formation and greatly reduces afterglow. Wedo wicks combine the highest grade wick materials, state of the art braiding and spooling technology as well as tried, tested and <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/finance-accepted\">approved<\/a> chemical treatments to provide the cleanest and safest possible burn in the materials in question. The materials and processes also ensure consistent product <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-wicks\/wedo-lx-wick-raw\">quality<\/a> from start to finish and from batch to batch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-wicks\/wedo-lx-wick-120mm\/?wmc-currency=EUR\">LX wicks:<\/a> LX series Wedo wicks are designed for containers and free standing candles made primarily of <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/guides\/the-truth-about-paraffin-wax-being-vegan-friendly\">paraffin wax<\/a> but also performs well in blends containing vegetable wax. In addition, the series gives high performance with normal fragrance loads and color concentrations. The series has its own <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-making-supplies\/fragrance-oils-for-candle-making\/all-fragrances\/alien-type-fragrance-oil\">unique<\/a> \u201cX\u201d chemical treatment. The coreless wick construction with additional stability threads provides excellent structural strength for use in both molding\/pouring and pressing candle manufacturing operations. The wick is already firmly incorporated into a sustainer (metal tab) ready for placing into a heat resistant container. The LX series is made purely of the highest grade ring-spun cotton. This improves overall consistency, helping candle manufacturing operations to run more smoothly and to provide better burning results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-wicks\/tcr-series-wick-120mm\/?wmc-currency=EUR\">TCR wicks:<\/a> TCR Wick, a high quality wick appropriate for both vegetable and soy waxes whether with or without dye and\/or fragrances.
