Square braid wicks are great for beeswax, soy wax, and palm wax, and will likely work with other waxes as well. They allow for especially good wax flow, which makes them good for especially viscous waxes. 6/0 is the smallest wick size we carry, with 5/0 being slightly thickerall the way to #10 which is the fattest square braid wick we carry.

But again, experimentation is the only way to truly find what works for your needs.
