kfintoni Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hello everyone, I had been previously using the wick stick um Pros from CS and they had been working great. The last few rolls I have gotten have been horrible. They barely stick to the wick tabs let alone the jars. I have spoken to two different people at CS and they keep telling me there is nothing wrong with them and nothing has changed. I stressed that even on the CS web site under reviews there are several people posting issues. My question to you all is who has the strongest wick stickers? I want something that does not come off even if I want them to. Thank you, Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 These have been working well for me for the past several years. https://www.northstar3c.com/shop/index.php?sid=2807lfi9klsl1143do817445oz6r70d6&app=ecom&ns=prodsearchp&ecom--prodsearch--string=Sticker&SUBMIT=Go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa11 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I bought a HIGH HEAT glue gun and HIGH HEAT glue sticks from Michaels and that has been working great. I have poured as hot as 195/190F and the only time a wick came loose when I poured was in a sheet pan I was using to wick test. I did not wipe it down with alcohol first but the 5 other wicks didn't move and sometimes I don't use an excess of glue. I have not used the wick stick ums or that red cement whatever it is called. I re-use my jars so with the high heat glue they stay in place and I can remove them with a little heat and muscle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I use the Flaming Candle ones, and out of god knows how many I've gone through I've only had 1 bad batch, but they replaced them and everything was fine again. If you really don't want the wick to move then get the RTV red stuff, it will never come loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I agree with TT. The wick stickems that come on the sheets are the bomb. Northstar or The Candlemakers Store. Never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I used the high temp glue for a while. After I saw how they can slide around toward the bottom of a container if the candle is not perfectly level I changed to the stickers. Stickers turned out to be faster to apply too, bonus.

kandlekrazy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Never had that issue from Candlemakers Store but I suppose it can happen anywhere. The key is which supplier will take care of it quickly, apparently CS is not doing that and that surprises me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 I want to clarify that the bad stickers are from Candle Science, not Candlemakers store. Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hey,....skip the cost of wick-stickums and use Yakey's Tackly Wax. This can be bought at any craft store and the wicks can be easily removed as needed. My thought is.....''why waste your $ on stickums when you can use something else that works better and cost less??

coconut Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I used a little dab of mold sealing putty and very rarely did I have a wick come loose. It was easy to remove after rewarming too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have no issues with Flaming Candles wick stickers. I've also used The Candlemaker's Store's wick stickers in the past and they worked just as well. I just like how Flaming Candles come in a roll. I get 1000 at a time.

candleshiba Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 You're not the only one. The first roll I bought back in June? July? I forgot worked great. The last 2 rolls I bought from CS (1000 stickers) have been HORRIBLE. 50% of them unstick within 1 min of applying, and then another 20% of them unstick while I'm pouring the wax...I resorted to using a glue gun instead. They do have fantastic customer service though and I was able to get my money back.
