Light It Right - Your Wick Tips & Tricks

 

Our wicks are the stars of the show in The Outpouring’s Candle Sand refillable system, and guess what? They come with almost all of our TOP Candle Sand products—so you’re always ready to get Lit!

But before you strike that match, let’s get you in the know. This page will cover everything wick-related: what they’re made of, how to use them for the best burn, and answers to the most common wick questions (and mistakes) we’ve come across.

Wick It Good!
Our flat braid, textile grade cotton wicks are specifically designed for natural waxes.  They are coated in a high melt wick wax for added stability can burn for a dazzling 10-12 hours when used correctly!

Here's the magic formula: sink your wick almost entirely into the Candle Sand, leaving just a tiny tip (about ½ cm - max 1cm) peeking out for easy lighting. The less exposed, the longer it glows!

Reignite Your Flame!
You don’t need to start fresh with every burn—our wicks are the gift that keeps on giving! Relight the same wick until it’s fully used up.

Want more time? You can even trim unused parts or flip the wick, ensuring zero waste while making your candle look brand new.

Just keep in mind, trimming shortens the total burn time!

Extra Wicks = Extra Fun!
When you order our TOP Candle Sand, we include plenty of wicks so you can keep the flame going! Swap them out whenever you like, whether for a fresh look or just to change things up.

No Holder? No Problem!
Our wicks are free to roam! They aren’t attached to the jar, and that’s actually a wicked benefit. When the wick nears the end of its life, it naturally topples into the melt pool, safely extinguishing itself. So, no need to worry about the flame reaching the bottom of the jar. Of course, always keep an eye on any open flame, but rest assured our wicks take care of the rest.

Wick Woes? We've Got You!
Running into common problems like wicks not staying lit or burning unevenly? Fear not! Here are some quick fixes:

  • Wick won’t light? Make sure there’s only a small portion above the sand.
  • Uneven burn? Double-check that the wick is fully surrounded by Candle Sand for an even melt.
