Fox Run Stick-Um Candle Adhesive, 0.5-Ounce

This stuff works so well! A little messy when trying to remove and store candles. But you need this to get ur candles to set upright in the candle holders

For years I have been wrapping little strips of paper towel around the base of tapers because they don't always fill the candle holder tight enough so that they stand straight. It was sometimes successful. But this year for my many Christmas candles I bought this Fox Run Stick-Um Candle Adhesive and now I no longer need the paper towel strips and my candles stand straighter than ever. It holds until you want to take them out, then they come out easily. I was worried about getting the adhesive on things - either squishing out of the holders or dropping some on my counter. But It comes off super easy - you just kind of roll it off and it leaves no residue. It's looks and feels like a cross between rubber cement and old-fashioned paste that we used (a looong time ago) in grade school. It works great and the 2 oz. tub will last for years. Highly recommend.

Perfect for all candles and all size shaped candlesticks really holds them in place also good for things you keep in a curio cabinet that you don't want to fall over if bumped or you have a mild earthquake

This stuff works great, I use it to help keep my candle sticks in place . A small dab goes a long way it really does hold well candlesticks upright when they are placed in holders that aren’t a perfect fit. Doesn’t smell and easy to wash off your hands after using.

This is my go-to for keeping candles in their holders. It does the job! I haven’t tested it on really tall tapers, but I’m sure you can always use more for big jobs. It has a pleasant smell, though if you’re fragrance sensitive, it may bother you. It washes out easily but if you use your fingers to apply, it can be hard to get out from under fingernails. I use a dedicated disposable chopstick for scooping and application to avoid mess.

I bought Fox Run 3100 Stick-Um Candle Adhesive for the first time to help hold my Chanukah candles. It seems that the "cups" are a little larger than the candles. It'a such a hassle every year trying to get them to stand up straight and stay that way util they've burned themselves out. In the past, I'd hold each one over a flame to melt a little of the wax on the bottom and try to get them set before the wax hardened again. I saw this, read some reviews and decided to give it a try. It works fabulously well! I just swipe the candles across it lightly, and put them in the holders. The directions say to use a pea size amount but with the little candles, you could probably do 3-4 or more (?) with just a small pea sized amount. There's no mess--no hassle. I haven't noticed any build up in the candle holders either. I've only had one candle that didn't burn itself up completely so I had to remove a little wax before placing a new candle. You'd never know I was using an adhesive with the candle--it must have just come right out along with the little bit of wax I scraped out. I haven't used it yet with a large taper or even a pillar but I have no doubt it's going to work. It provides a sense of security that the lit candles won't topple out of their holder. I'll never be without it again!

This product is a clever and useful compound. It is very sticky and gooey — it has to be to do its job — and my only hesitation is that it doesn’t work well with non-paraffin candles, like flameless candles. (It actually caused mine to not turn on, since their activation point is in the base, which was covered in the compound.) I found that it eventually worked if I used the right amount and put it in the correct place, but things were a bit messy by the time I finally got it to work. Cleanup was difficult but definitely not impossible. Basically, if I were using traditional wax candles I’d really like and recommend this product. I’m sharing my thoughts for those who are going flameless/ battery candles, for they might want to reconsider. (it might be helpful if the company that makes this gave suggestions on what will cut through the compound. Water and soap are not very useful but there’s probably something that would clean it right up.)

Good product. Holds candles firmly in place when holder is slightly too large. Allows me to use my candlesticks.
