HTP (High Temperature Paper)
The HTP series of wicks fuses the burn & self-trimming advantages of a flat cotton wick with interwoven cotton fibers to increase rigidity. The result is a fantastic, multifunctional wick with the structural strength of a paper core wick, but the performance of a flat wick. Works well in paraffin, vegetable waxes, and gel.
