Step by step - candlewick

To light a candle we need a candlewick. For gel candles are special wicks with paper core or zinc. If you buy primed wick (paraffin), before you put it in the jar with gel wax you must remove paraffin gel - otherwise, paraffin and gel begins to melt and our gel will become cloudy and unattractive. Another problem for wicks primed this time is the fact that it is trapped between the fibers a lot of air, it makes  a  lot of unnecessary bubbles around the wick.

The best way to remove the wax or the air from the fiber wick is boiling it in a small amount of gel. Just heat the gel to about 105 degrees C and put the wick, wait for the wax started to melt or air bubbles escape. Candlewick prepared in this way is ready to use.

 Before you attach the wick in the pot we also know that wicks have different thicknesses. That's what we'll use the wick thickness depends on the diameter of the pot  our candle. The larger the diameter the thicker candlewick.

At last use the  T-shaped metal tab to candlewick and put it to your candle pot .
