First attach the wick to the bottom anchoring base and place it in the centre of the container. Pull the upper part of the wick through the opening in the metal holder and place the holder on the rim of the container so that it lies horizontally. Gently tension and straighten the wick, then you can safely pour the wax. After the candle has set, simply remove the holder and, if necessary, clean off wax residues for further use.

Yes, the metal wick holder can be safely used repeatedly if hygienic principles are observed. Before each new use, we recommend mechanically cleaning the holder from wax residues and, as needed, cleaning and disinfecting the surface with a suitable agent, for example alcohol. For disinfection of equipment, you can use products available on Handymade, such as isopropyl alcohol in the disinfection category or denatured ethanol of plant origin. Before repeated use, always make sure that no impurities remain on the surface that could affect the quality of your candles.

Wax residues are easiest to remove after partial cooling, when the wax is still slightly plastic. Wipe it off mechanically with a wooden or plastic spatula so as not to scratch the surface. You can then finish cleaning the holder with a paper towel and, as needed, wipe the surface with alcohol with a high ethanol content or with isopropyl alcohol. This will remove small wax residues and ensure cleanliness for the next use.

If you decide not to use the wick holder any further, we recommend first removing wax residues and impurities. Then, according to the type of metal indicated in the product parameters, sort it into the appropriate recycling stream – usually into a container for metal packaging or metal waste according to the sorting rules in your area. Always adapt recycling recommendations to the information given in the parameter table for the respective product on Handymade so that the material is processed correctly and responsibly.

When selecting suitable packaging and accessories, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific category of packaging or candle-making assortment. Using the filter, you can conveniently narrow down the offer according to parameters such as neck type, size, colour and packaging material. In this way you will quickly find bottles, jars, pots or other containers that will best suit your products and the planned mode of use.
