Which Wicks should I use?
How should I care for my wick?
How do I reduce screw head burns?
Because of how expensive pure KEVLAR® is, our wick also contains other aramid fibers and fabric-grade fiberglass. (not the kind that itches or stabs you. after all at HoP we work with it all day.). We sell 100ft(30m) full rolls and if you want only a small amount we also sell per meter or per ft (units depend on the language settings).
How do I cut KEVLAR® wick?
KEVLAR® has a very high cut resistance. Which means it will blunt even the most expensive scissors very fast. At HoP we use box cutters or craft knives which have replaceable blades. Do not ever use your mum's favorite dress fabric scissors, or you will be in big trouble!About KEVLAR®

The chains have strong interchain bonding, which results in a unique combination of properties.
