No, I guess I'm trying to see if anyone out there has come across devices that hold the wicks at center and would allow me to drop in rows of wicks at a time. Thanks.

Nope. The discs are about 1/4 inch smaller in diameter than the tin, and they have about 20-30 small holes in them, so they are heavy enough, wide enough to be stable, and the wax can flow pretty freely through the holes, thus they sink right to the bottom when inserted in the hot wax, and don't typically move around.

Help!! I'm trying to find a way to speed up my candle-making process. I currently am making large quantities of soy candles in 2 ounce deep tins. For wicks I have been using zinc cored wicks with a large disk. This allows me to pour the wax, and then I straighten and set the wicks in by hand before the wax even starts to cool. It works okay, but is a rather tedious process and am looking for ways to speed this up. It seems that most wick clips are for individual wicks, and might keep the wicks straight, but wouldn't speed up the process. Any tips out there? Note, I would like to purchase a large wax melting pot, but don't see the point until I can get the wicks in faster. Thanks for any input.
