Hey there candle makers! This MAQIHAN pack gives you everything you need to get started - 100 of these 6-inch cotton wicks PLUS 100 extra metal bases. Super important note: some of the metal bases might have a little rust from humidity during storage, but don't worry - they include those extra bases so you can just swap the cotton wick over. The wicks themselves are really nice quality - they're 40-strand braided pure cotton with no heavy metals, so they burn clean without producing black smoke or carbon deposits. They work great with all kinds of wax including soy wax and beeswax. The thickness is just right for most candle diameters - not too thin that they burn out quickly, not too thick that they create tunneling. For bigger candles, you can just use 2-3 wicks together. Honestly, making your own candles is not only fun and creative, but it can actually save you money on electricity during power outages or just when you want some cozy ambient lighting. These wicks are definitely a must-have for any DIY candle project!
