METAL CORE WICK SAFETY DATA INFORMATION
Rate of Draw - Rate of wax consumption in grams per minute. Bases on the initial candle weight minus the ending weight divided by 60.
Flame Height - Measured in centimeters. Measured at 2 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 hour 50 minutes into the test burn.
Pool Diameter - Wax pool diameter measured in centimeters. The pool is measured after the candle has been extinguished and cooled.
Picks/In - Picks per inch. The higher the pick the tighter the braid. Tighter braids generally have a lower rate of draw.
Break Strength - Gauge length is 8" and is measured in pounds.
Yield - Yards per pound measured under 40 grams of tension.
Yarn - Yield calculated.
(*) Must go in 3.0mm hole Diameter or larger.
(**) Will not Fit any eyelet that we sell.
