The fragrance, colour and configuration of the candle have a major impact on the choice of the best wick. We suggest using at least 1 to 2 wick sizes larger for this wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wick that is too large can cause sooting, accelerate burn time and cause wax to escape from the side of the candle. Too small a wick will cause tunnelling and produce a smaller flame.

Small air bubbles may be observed around the wick during combustion; this is a normal phenomenon. The combustion test should be carried out after the candle has been left to rest for \u003cstrong\u003e48 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCooling the DIY candle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the candles to cool to room temperature. After \u003cstrong\u003e48 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e of cooling, test the candle for wick diameter and mushrooming. Moulding occurs when carbon and\/or other substances accumulate at the end of the wick and interfere with combustion. Fungus formation can lead to soot and unpleasant odours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach combination of wick size, wax, dye and fragrance should be tested to check the quality of combustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe temperatures indicated above are the result of our internal tests and may differ from the values indicated in the supplier's technical data sheets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe colour and shape of the chips may vary from batch to batch, but this has no effect on quality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerax","offers":[{"title":"5 kg","offer_id":45973194178812,"sku":"CR-OL-CONT-5","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 kg","offer_id":45973194309884,"sku":"CR-OL-CONT-20","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"80 kg","offer_id":63767394451833,"sku":"CR-OL-CONT-80","price":611.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/1772\/5436\/files\/cire-olive-coulee_cbd4ac43-8d54-44de-bf43-8143883272fa.jpg?v=1720710007","url":"https:\/\/tarredebougies.com\/en\/products\/olive-oil-wax-candles-containers","provider":"Terre de Bougies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
