The special knot for candle-makers

No matter which kind of mould you use, a wick has always been fixed with a knot at the bottom of the mould and tensed at the top. You can tense the wick for example with a transverse wick needle.

It makes sense, for sure, to build a knot that you can unknot again easily by pulling it 

 

 

Do not knot it too strongly; it must be possible to unknot it again.
