we are going to learn these three candle wicks that are cheap and easy to make at home.
Borax Candle Wick Method
Wood Candle Stick Method
Borax Wax Candle Wick Method
You are going to need some cotton string and some borax and salt for the first method. Lets do it. You will need to heat up some water just to before boil and add 1 cup water, 3 TBSP Borax and 1 TBSP Salt. Stir this until it is dissolved. Now you can add your precut wick strings to the solution and let sit 24 hours. Now take them out and wipe off excess crystal formations. Let dry for 24 hours or dry with a hair dryer a few minutes. Now the wicks are ready. You can use them just like this or you can braid a few of them together for a little stronger burning wick. For the next method you take your borax treated wick and dip it in hot wax a few times for a wax coated wick. These also burn well. I will show you at the end of the video. For the wood candle wicks you can use balsam wood or a Popsicle stick if you cant find it. Soak the sticks in olive oil for 30 minutes. Longer the better. Olive oil gives a clean burn. Take them out and dry the extra oil off onto a paper towel till it does not leave oil marks. Now your wooden candle wicks are ready. Watch how they burn and decide which one you want to try.
Making your own candle wicks only takes a minute and they are ready to use.

You explained everything so great and used what I never would work hot wax in styrofoam. Thank you I think I will be making candles soon.
pro tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Aiden Avi Yup, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
Excellent job explaining. Thank you!
thanks
Took me a while, didn't have borax at hand so I had to buy some on my last shopping trip, then one has to wait for the wicks to soak, etc. but...... the wax coated ones worked best for me. I forgot to buy Popsicle sticks, but will get some next shopping trip. Thanks again.
thanks i will be using the wood one
👍
Interesting
From the various utube links about DIY candle wicks, I have never come across someone talking about wick sizes (diameter). Neither commercial wick suppliers since all charts show the demeter of the vessels / containers recommending wicks accordingly. If someone in the know could provide information about the various thicknesses of the braided cotton wicks, one would go about it in a better manner to accommodate according to vessels in use.
Great thing to know during emergencies
👍
thanks I will try them
Let me know which way you tried:)
I'll try the wood candle. Does it have to be olive oil to soak?
How did this work out for you?
you can use coconut oil = really ANY oil but coconut & olive burn the cleanest
@@UNREDACTEDTRUTH what about the borax for the cotton can I use anything else
What does the borax and salt do please?
Cotton String, 1 cup water, 2 Tablespoons 20 Mule Team BORAX, and 1 Tablespoon SALT. That is the official recipe. Actually never measure out ingredients according to that method. I use about 4 cups of water, and 1 Cup of Borax and 1/2 Cup of Salt if you want to know something measured. Actually I use Several cups of Water and about a handful of BORAX and a handful of salt
What can I use instead of borax
Why do you need the salt for, would borax alone not work 🤔
which one burned longer?
It’s not enough that it burns does it give off HT?
I thought candle wicks are regular cotton rope. Why do they need this treatment? Regular 100% cotton rope seems to work grate in oil candles
It helps them burn longer
Wax candles are not oil candles, but you could try to do the same for oil candles.
Why did you use BORAX..?
Wax should be between 170 to 190 degrees F. or lower, else blowout will occur
Your hand is covering your braiding part,I'm learning,but it's 2 fast. But thank you.
Do I use wool rope?
Cotton string or cotton rope works best
Nice. Thank you.
your welcome.please let me know which way you tried and how it worked for you.
What kind of strings you used?
Link is in the description for the string and other items used. Enjoy.
