Wedo's LX wick is a very thin flatwick that curls into the flame to produce a self trimming effect.
Effective in both paraffin and natural wax; when used in natural wax it is common that you have to use a lot larger size than you would in paraffin wax. Large amounts of scent in a candle can affect the performance of the Wedo LX wick.

The paper core wick has its place for candle making in that it is often the wick that works best when you have large amounts of scent in your candle or you are using old left-over candle wax. It is often said that paper core wick smokes very badly but modern paper cored wick that is trimmed to 5mm before each lighting of the candle will never let you down.
