Candles really are an amazing lighting system -- the fuel itself is the package. There are two parts that work together in a candle:
- The fuel, made of some sort of wax.
- The wick, made of some sort of absorbent twine..
The wick needs to be naturally absorbent, like a towel, or it needs to have a strong capillary action (as in glass fiber wicks used in oil lamps). If you buy a length of un-waxed wick at a craft store and play with it, you will find that it feels like soft string and absorbs water very well. This absorbency is important in a candle because the wick needs to absorb liquid wax and move it upward while the candle is burning.
