Metal Wick Sustainers (Tabs) | For Container Candles

Make Professional and Safe Candles from Scratch

For the candle maker who prefers the economy and flexibility of making their own tabbed wicks, these metal sustainers are a non-negotiable component. A wick sustainer (or tab) provides a firm, flat base to anchor your wick securely in the centre of your container.

More importantly, it’s a critical safety feature. The raised neck of the sustainer holds the very end of the wick, extinguishing the flame before it can reach the bottom of the glass. This helps prevent the container from overheating, making your finished candle safer for your customers to enjoy.

Why These Wick Sustainers are an Essential:

• The Professional Standard: The correct way to finish wicks for use in any container, including glass jars, tins, and tumblers.
• Enhances Candle Safety: The raised neck design is a crucial safety feature that prevents the flame from burning all the way to the glass base.
• Provides a Stable Anchor: Creates a solid, flat base that allows you to securely attach your wick to the bottom of your container with a wick sticker.

How to Use:

1. Cut your wick to the desired length. (Priming the wick beforehand is highly recommended for best results).
2. Thread one end of the wick through the hole in the sustainer.
3. Using a pair of long-nosed pliers, firmly crimp the round neck of the sustainer to grip the wick securely in place.
4. Your professionally tabbed wick is now ready to be placed in a container.
