#5 Bleached Square
Description
Bleached Square Wick was originally designed for beeswax candles, however, can be used in all types of candle systems.
The unique square construction makes it an excellent choice for waxes that are highly viscous when molten, like beeswax and vegetable wax.
Bleached Square Wick is engineered to curl while burning, minimizing carbon build-up. This wick is constructed of 100% natural fibers and is finished with chemical treatments to improve burn qualities.
