The CDN (Stabilo KST) series features a flat braided cotton wick with a special paper filament to promote maximum and consistent capillary action while ensuring a wick trimming flame posture. CDNs can be considered the cousin’s of CD wicks as they are identical except for the curl so if you are having issues with CD wicks give CDN a try in the same size to see if that helps.

Note: We recommend testing new wick sizes when making any modifications to existing candle recipes or making new candles. Burning characteristics can be altered by changes in wax, fragrance oil, dye, and/or additives, which could result in a different optimal wick size for the same diameter candle.
Wicks stand up very well
