This is taken from the wick page at Taylored Concepts!! http://www.tayloredconcepts.com/wicks.htm

I knew I had seen this somewhere: :D

What do the wick numbers mean?

  • The first set of numbers is the thickness of the wick, the larger the number, the thicker the wick.
  • The second set of numbers is the speed at which the string goes through the wicking machine gear, the faster it goes through, the tighter the wick and the slower the burn.
  • The third set of numbers is the code for the temperature of the wax as the wick goes through the various gears.

HTH:)
