Start the roll by enclosing the wick

David Fisher
Place the primed wick onto the wide edge of the sheet, leaving about 3/4" sticking out of the top. (The top is the edge that slants down.)Tightly roll about 1/8" of the wax over onto the wick, enclosing it tightly in the wax. Press gently, but evenly, along the wick to make sure that it is well surrounded by the wax.
