Description
6″ Rigid Curl – Self-Trimming Candle Wicks by Fil-Tec
Fil-Tec Rigid Curl Candle Wicks
We carry 9 sizes of Rigid Curl Wicks!
Rigid, all-fiber wicks with a knitted construction. Rigid Curl wicks stay straight while pouring. While burning, they are designed to curl, which results in a self-trimming wick.
Because Rigid Curl wicks are self-trimming, they maintain a safe flame height during extended burns. This makes Rigid Curl wicks an ideal choice for candles that may be burned for long periods of time.

- Self-trimming feature reduces soot and carbon buildup.

- Suitable for container candles and votives.
Length: 6″
Tab size: 20mm round base with a 6mm neck that helps stabilize the wick.
