The wick charts provided are intended as a general reference and starting point for wick selection. Recommendations are based on testing with paraffin-based candle formulations and may vary with wax type, fragrance, additives, vessel, and candle size.

Wick sizes shown are suggestions, not definitive recommendations. Always conduct burn testing with your specific candle formulation to confirm the appropriate wick and desired performance.
