BL Square Braid - Wick Chart

Bleached Square Braid wicks - these wicks are NOT pre-waxed

Good choice for waxes that are highly viscous when molten, like beeswax and vegetable wax. BL SQ wick is made to curl while burning, minimizing carbon build-up. It is made of 100% natural fibres and is finished with a natural sodium (not actual bleach) treatment to improve burn qualities.
