I use the wick centering tool that Rob makes in Texas......I know Bitter Creek also sells them. They are much easier than wick pins and I never have to worry about it being slightly off center!! Here's the link so you can see what I'm talking about. http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page.cfm?queries_index=index7&ProductCodeID=40&ProductSubCodeID=33

Thanks, I think i will ask my friend if he can just cut the pin part off and just add another piece of flat metal on it. I think that will work. I am going to see him tomorrow.
What kind of molds are you using those with? They usually go with the seamless aluminum that have the concave tops. If the base was flat you couldn't seal it around the wick hole.

By the way, that wick centering tool that ChrisR mentioned can also center a regular wick pin.

If you have some mold sealer, put a small glob around the wick pin to seal then stuff a tightly rolled piece of papertowel between the mold & pin stand to prevent wobble. Just about anything will work, even pieces of an old sponge. You just have to make sure you seal around the base of the pin itself.

With the flat bottom molds, I pre-wick cause the wick & screw will make the mold wobble. I guess the bowl of beans trick would work.

I really like them better on the inside but the flat bottoms don't allow that. I got some 3x4 FB molds from Peak when they were on sale recently and I really like 'em. The cool candles slip out really easy.

A while someone posted a link to a supplier that had 2 1/2' pins that will fit inside the Peak FB mold but I can't find the thread now.
