Considerations:
Material Durability: While metal wick holders are generally sturdy, the quality of the metal (e.g., tin, zinc, or stainless steel) affects their longevity. Lower-quality metals may rust or corrode over time, especially if exposed to moisture or high heat.
Size and Fit: Choose the right size metal wick holder for your wick type and candle mold. An ill-fitting holder may cause the wick to shift or become misaligned during the cooling process.
Heat Resistance: Ensure the metal used in the wick holder is heat-resistant enough to withstand the high temperatures of melting wax without warping or becoming too hot to handle.
Aesthetic Considerations: While practical, metal holders may not have the same rustic charm as wooden alternatives. Consider how the holder’s appearance fits with the overall aesthetic of the candle, especially for handmade or eco-friendly designs.
Stability: Metal holders are generally stable, but they may not offer as much grip or security as some other types (like wooden holders with flanges). They must sit firmly in place to prevent wick movement.
Cleanliness: Metal wick holders are easy to clean but may retain wax residue after multiple uses. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain their appearance and functionality.
