Question 1

can you use it already made candles ? (e,g i have a candle that i'll like to re use but the wick in that candle has already burned out) it's an 18oz

Accepted Answer

I have store-bought candles in glass jars. They burn in the center (swamping the wick and putting it out, but leaving lots of wax all around the sides). I take a thick, wide-mouth, not too tall or too big around jar (I buy a pretty one or I use a left-over jar like an olive jar or pickle jar) and affix the new wick to the bottom of the jar. As the wax in my main candle burns and puddles up around the wick, I pour the hot wax into the new jar. Soon I have a candle. I put a new wick in the first jar and as the second candle burns, I pour the wax back into the first jar. Your first jar does not need to be "totally clean" of old wax. You just need enough space to affix a new wick. If you have cold wax up the sides, just take a serrated kitchen knife and go around the sides. The cold wax will pile up (like snow) and then it will burn, too.

Question 2

what type of wax are they coated with?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are still coated with paraffin wax

Question 3

Can you use these for the beeswax sheet wrap-around candles?

Accepted Answer

yes you can use these wicks for beeswax sheets some wick you get can be different thickness,
so its trial to see you have the correct one hope this helps.

Question 4

I need 6" to 8"  Candle wicks that make a loud crackle. Where do I get them?

Accepted Answer

If you want crackle you need wood wicks. Wooden wicks has a sample pack that is reasonable. You get 4 each of all the sizes they sell.
