Tealight Wick Helper – Wick Holder for Standard Tealight Cups

Keep tealight wicks centred during pouring and cooling

Tealight wicks can move during pouring and cooling, leaving them off-centre in the finished candle.

The Tealight Wick Helper holds an already positioned wick in the middle of your tealight cup while you pour and the wax sets, reducing the need to repeatedly adjust it by hand.

This is a wick holder, rather than a placement tool. It does not position or attach the metal wick tab to the base of the cup.

Why use it?

• Keeps the wick centred during pouring and cooling
• Helps prevent the wick moving while the wax sets
• Reduces repeated manual adjustment
• Makes batch pouring easier and more consistent
• Simple to use and reuse

How to use

1. Position and secure your wick inside the tealight cup as you normally would.
2. Place the Tealight Wick Helper over the top of the cup, with the wick held in the centre.
3. Pour your wax into the cup, taking care not to pour directly onto the holder.
4. Leave the holder in place while the wax cools and sets, then carefully remove it.
