Smello`s Candle Wick Sustainer (CW 108)

Smello`s Candle Wick Sustainer in candle making is a small metal base that anchors and stabilizes the wick, ensuring it remains centered as the wax sets. It is an essential component for maintaining wick alignment and achieving an even burn.

Key Features:
Material: Typically crafted from metal—such as tin, zinc, or stainless steel—ensuring heat resistance and long-lasting stability during the candle's burn.
Function: The sustainer’s primary role is to secure the wick at the bottom of the container, keeping it straight and centered to promote an even burn.
Design: Usually featuring a small hole or slot for the wick and a flat metal base that rests at the bottom of the container. Some sustainers include a flange to enhance stability and wick alignment.
Size: Available in various sizes to suit different wick thicknesses and candle types, with larger sustainers used for thicker wicks.



Considerations:
Prevents Wick Shifting: The sustainer keeps the wick in place, preventing it from floating or misaligning during the wax pouring process.
Improves Burn Quality: A centered wick ensures an even, clean burn, reducing the risk of tunnelling and maximizing candle performance.
Enhances Safety: Properly positioning the wick minimizes the risk of erratic burns and unsafe candle behaviour.
Reusable: Made from durable metal, sustainers are long-lasting and can be reused multiple times, offering a cost-effective solution for candle makers.
