CD (Stabilo) candle wick is a flat braided cotton wick with paper threads woven into the cotton. The reinforced construction of the wick is designed to ensure a consistent burn with higher fragrance loads, especially with softer, more viscous natural waxes.
Are CD Wicks good?
CD wicks are versatile and work well in more viscous waxes, such as single pour paraffin and soy (vegetable) waxes. They are self trimming and designed to promote a consistent burning flame.
CD wicks are a coreless, non-directional, cotton flat braid wick with paper filament throughout, providing increased rigidity. They are primed with a natural wax coating making them perfect for use in soy and paraffin candles.
What is the difference between CD and eco wicks?
ECO Coreless Wicks: The ECO wick is a flat, coreless, cotton wick with thin paper filaments interwoven for burn stability. CD Coreless Wicks: The CD wick is a Coreless, non-directional, flat braided wick with a special Paper filament woven around it.
What does a wick do?
The purpose of a wick is to deliver fuel (wax) to the flame. Acting like a fuel pump, the wick draws the liquefied wax up into the flame to burn. The type of wax used in a candle, as well as the candle's size, shape, color and fragrance materials all impact wick choice.
Are CD wicks lead free?
CD (Stabilo) wick is a flat braided cotton wick with paper threads woven into the cotton. Note: Any carbon buildup should be removed once the wick is extinguished. CD wicks are lead and zinc free.
What does eco mean in candle wicks?
ECO Series Wicks This series is designed specifically for natural waxes. The ECO series is a flat, coreless cotton wick braided with thin paper filaments interwoven for burn stability. This braiding technique also greatly improves rigidity compared to standard cotton and paper cored wicks.
What is the difference in candle wicks?
Different wick sizes allow for different amounts of wax (remember, the fuel!) to be drawn into the flame. If there is too much wax the flame will flare and soot. However, if there is too little fuel then the flame will sputter out. Without the proper wick, your candle will not burn cleanly.

What is the difference between wick sizes?
Understanding Wick Sizes All the wicks available through CandleScience follow the same rule. Within a series the larger the number, the larger the wick. So an ECO 14 is always bigger than an ECO 10, and an ECO 4 is always smaller than an ECO 6.
