Kevlar wick:
To create your own juggling equipment or to replace the wicks on your fire equipment, you'll need wick. The length you'll need will vary depending on your project. Wick widths between 50mm and 70mm are primarily used for torches and fire staffs.
It is up to you to define what you will adapt to your fire equipment.

NetJuggler Information
Our wick is assembled in Europe and meets high-quality standards. It is a polymer made up of aromatic (benzene) rings separated by amide groups. It belongs to the aramid fiber group. Poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide was discovered and marketed under the registered trademark Kevlar.
Poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide was discovered in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, a researcher at DuPont. The company chose to name this polymer Kevlar. It wasn't until 1971 that the first factory was built and produced the first kilograms of Kevlar.
To optimize the lifespan of your wicks, NetJuggler recommends using odorless petroleum jelly, which you can easily find in most supermarkets.
Some interesting characteristics of Kevlar:
- Excellent resistance to shocks and fatigue.
- Good chemical behavior with respect to fuels.
- Significant moisture reabsorption (4%) during steaming prior to impregnation.
- Fire resistance (decomposition at 400°C).
Kevlar usage guidelines:
There are several ways to attach your wick to your fire equipment. If you are located near our store, feel free to come and see us; we will be happy to assemble the wick and adapt it to your equipment free of charge, whether you bought it from us, elsewhere, or even if you designed it yourself.

Good morning,
As a magician for 20 years, I would like to attach a fire wick to one side of a sword (made of steel) to add a pyrotechnic effect to one of my acts.
How do I attach this wick to the sword? I'd probably need a heat-resistant glue, but where can I find it? What's the name? Do you sell it?
Also, do you sell cans of Pyroflamme, Isoflamme, or jam (fire paste)? I couldn't find any on your website.
We do not sell the products you mentioned. I recommend contacting a store specializing in pyrotechnic equipment. Regarding Kevlar glue, many professionals use wood glue (to glue Kevlar to Kevlar). This is a glue that hardens and bonds with heat. However, I cannot guarantee results with this method. The best thing to do is to do your own testing or contact competent professionals.
THANKS.
I'm planning to make a fire staff, what length at each end would you recommend? Just to know how many meters I should buy ^^ And how would you advise me to attach it to my staff
Most of the staff and fire equipment we sell is equipped with 50cm of Kevlar. This is an ideal length for achieving a decent flame size. Many professionals use more Kevlar, but be careful, this enlarges the flame and its ignition time. Always think about your safety and that of your audience. To hold the Kevlar in place, I recommend using screws. Self-drilling screws will be easier to install using a screwdriver.
Hello, I would like to make some fire poi based on the cathedral model and I wanted to know if you had any recommendations on the dimensions of the wick to choose? Also, I wanted to know if the wick is cut between each meter if you order several meters?
Thanks in advance
I recommend the 50mm Kevlar wick or the 70mm Kevlar wick if you are looking for a more impressive effect. I have put together a short guide explaining how to fold it.
Hello, I am currently making a fire stick and I would like to know if these wicks are reinforced with copper or brass wire.
Thanks in advance !
Our Kevlar wicks are guaranteed to be copper-free. The copper wire in Kevlar is a marketing gimmick designed to make people believe it increases the lifespan of the Kevlar. On the contrary, the copper wire that remains hot after using your wick continues to consume your wick, dramatically reducing its lifespan. This is a tactic to sell you more wicks.
It is possible to debate on this subject, because it could be interesting in some cases, to use a Kevlar wick tank without copper and to surround it with a thickness of wick with copper wire to better maintain the whole... In any case, we do not plan to market this type of Kevlar. The one we offer today has benefited from several years of research and experimentation and I think we can say that it is one of the best Kevlar on the market at the time of writing this comment.
