Wax & Wick Combination Tests & Results

Directory of Waxes and Wicks Tested

IGI 1343 - 2" Chunk Votive - 44-24-18z zinc core wick

Notes: Good burn-pretty even. Great scent throw. Some mushrooming. Need to keep the wick trimmed.

Recommendation: Good place to start. The zinc wicks seem to work really well for votives.

There are countless combinations of wax and wick and containers or molds. When you do a test of a wick, wax and/or container, use the user submission form to give me your test results. I'll post them in the Wick/Wax table for others to use and learn from.
