CD wicks, also known as Stabilo wicks, are a type of high-performance candle wick designed for consistent burning, especially in natural waxes like soy, coconut, and beeswax. 𧡠What Are CD Wicks? Structure: Flat braided cotton wick with paper filament woven throughout Coreless & Non-directional: No rigid core, allowing for flexible use in various candle types Self-trimming: Designed to curl slightly while burning, which helps maintain flame size and reduce mushrooming Rigid Construction: The paper filament adds stiffness, helping the wick stay upright in molten wax π₯ Burn Characteristics Strong, consistent flame Excellent for high-fragrance loads Compatible with viscous waxes like soy and paraffin Reduces soot and carbon buildup π―οΈ Best Uses Container candles Tealights Votives Pillars The following i2 derived from years and years of Candle Cocoon testing.
