From CierraCandles: These wicks are not a flat braid wick but they are wax coated. They are also too small to use for containers 3" in diameter. These wicks are best used for jar sizes 2.5" and under and votive size candles. The best wick to use for soy wax, and other vegetable based waxes, in mason jars are the HTP 1212 wicks.
