Ultra-Core WicksProudly made in the USA, Ultra-Core Wicks offer a 100% natural alternative to traditional zinc core wicks—delivering the same rigidity without any metal or paper. These all-fiber wicks provide a clean, efficient burn and are designed specifically for container candles. Crafted with a uniquely treated fiber core, Ultra-Core Wicks maintain their shape during both the pouring and burning process. The patented open-knit construction allows wax to flow smoothly through the fibers, enhancing fuel delivery, promoting a more even melt pool, and boosting scent throw. Expect minimal tunneling, little to no soot, and a shorter, hotter flame with significantly smaller mushrooming. Versatile PerformanceUltra-Core Wicks have been extensively tested across a wide range of waxes—including soy, paraffin, coconut, palm, beeswax, gel, and hybrid blends—and consistently deliver excellent results. This all-in-one wick offers reliable performance, eliminating the need for metal-core alternatives. Key Features & Benefits Rigid structure for easy pouring and clean burning 100% natural fiber construction—no wire, no paper Ideal replacement for zinc core wicks Patented design for improved fuel flow and melt pool performance Excellent hot throw and reduced mushrooming Consistent performance across spools and batches Made in the USA Wick Sizing GuideUltra-Core sizing is straightforward: the wick number (e.g., 1.45, 1.651, 1.792, 2.0) corresponds to the melt pool diameter (in inches) after 2 hours of burn time in 140°F paraffin wax. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your specific wax, fragrance load, and any additives used. Helpful Tips for Best Results Always test burn your candles before finalizing wick selection Trim wicks to ¼ inch or less before each burn Size down for palm wax and low melt point paraffins Size up when working with beeswax Ultra-Core Wicks give candle makers the freedom to create with confidence—metal-free, worry-free, and performance-driven.
