Make sure your container is clean and dry.

Put a wick stickum or bit of glue on the end of the wick tab. Using a straw to hold the wick, press the wick tab firmly into the center of the cup. Wrap the end of the wick around a wick bar, or insert it through drinking straw that you've cut a small slit in.
