Center the Wick

Center the Wick

David Fisher
Using a straw to hold the wick, dab a bit of hot glue onto the bottom of the wick tab and press it firmly into the center of your container.

It's important that it be centered well or the candle will not burn well.

You can also use the double-sided "glue dots" or "wick-stickums" - they work the same as the hot glue, but are easier.

Attach your wick bars, or plastic straws to keep the wicks centered.
