Helpful Tips

• Pour at any temperature, just be sure the wax is below 160 degrees F before inserting The Wick Stick. If the wax is beginning to set up around the edges of the jar, then the entire jar container is generally below 160 degrees F and ready to wick.
• If The Wick Stick is set while the wax is still too hot, it will likely pull the wick out when removed after cooling. This leaves you with a wickless candle and a Wick Stick that has a wick stuck in it. The Wick Stick can be cleaned out by simply dipping it in hot water to release the wick and wax.
• With certain thinner shorter wicks, putting a bend in the wick before inserting it into The Wick Stick can help it stay inside while it is inserted into the candle.
• When you order wicks, order the correct length so that it does not need trimmed. Remember, you no longer need a wick that extends past the top of the container to clip and hold straight.
• Also, when you order wicks, save money by buying the smallest clips available. The Wick Sick does all the work holding the wick in place as it cools.
• Regular cardboard cartons are perfect for storing The Wick Sticks between use. As they are pulled, they can just be thrown into the carton. They are quite durable.
• Heat your capping wax a bit hotter so that when capping (topping off), the wax always finds its way down the hole left by the Wick Stick.
• Wick Sticks can easily be preloaded with wicks before you pour so that setting them goes very fast.
