Candle Wick Double Sided Adhesive, 1 cm, 500 pcs

Wick stickers, 1 cm, 500 pcs

Double-sided adhesive stickers secure a wick with a metal sustainer firmly to the bottom of the jar before you pour the wax. They replace gluing with a hot glue gun or melted wax, which is slow, imprecise and impractical for larger batches. The pack contains 500 pieces with a diameter of 1 cm, a size suited to common wick sustainers in glass jar and tin candles.

The main purpose of the sticker is to keep the wick exactly in place while the wax is poured and sets, so that it neither shifts nor floats up. A correctly positioned wick is the basis of an even burn, which makes this a small but important aid for anyone making poured candles at home or in a small workshop.

Key advantages

• Quick and clean work – peel the sticker from the backing, press it onto the wick sustainer and place the wick on the bottom of the jar. There is no waiting for glue to cool and no traces left by a glue gun.
• Stable wick position – the firm bond prevents the wick from shifting towards the edge when warm wax is poured, or from being pulled out when you straighten it.
• Practical size – the 1 cm diameter matches common metal sustainers and does not extend beyond them, so the sticker is not visible once the wax is poured.
• Large pack – 500 pieces are enough even for larger production batches or long-term home production.

How to use the stickers

The jar should be dry and clean before you stick the wick down. First attach the sticker to the underside of the metal wick sustainer, then peel off the protective backing and place the wick in the centre of the bottom of the jar. A long stick, the handle of a brush or a skewer will help you centre it precisely and press the sustainer down firmly through the opening of the jar.

We recommend sticking wicks at room temperature and leaving the sticker to settle for a moment after pressing, before you start pouring the wax. Peel the sticker from the backing only just before use. If the adhesive surface becomes contaminated with dust or wax, adhesion drops and it is better to replace the sticker.

Which candles they suit

• Candles in glass jars – the most common use; the adhesive holds well on smooth, degreased glass.
• Candles in tin and aluminium containers – a metal surface is equally suitable for the stickers.
• Ceramic and concrete containers – with a rougher or porous surface, we recommend testing adhesion on a single piece before a larger batch.
• Tealight and votive candles – for small formats, 1 cm is a size that does not extend beyond the sustainer.

Stickers are not needed for freestanding candles poured in a mould, as the wick is threaded through an opening in the mould.

Good to know

The stickers are intended for fixing the sustainer before pouring, not for later repairs in wax that has already set. If the wick comes loose after pouring, you need to melt the wax again and stick the wick down anew.

We do not state the exact temperature resistance of the adhesive. The stickers are intended for ordinary pouring of soy wax, rapeseed wax or paraffin wax at the recommended temperatures. With very hot wax, repeated heating of the jar, or jars with a protective or silicone coating, where adhesives generally hold less well, we recommend testing one piece beforehand.
