wick gluing

[CandleMakinCutiePie]

I have been having the hardest time figuring out what type of adhesive to use to glue my wicks to my jars.I've tried glue dots,super glues,and most recently high temp hot glue.I've found a super glue that works(usually)but it's quite a pain using it.The hot glue works half of the time as well.It aggravates the heck out of me to pour hot wax into a jar and the darn wick comes detached from the bottom!Any suggestions?

Hold the wick within the barrel. Apply hot glue to the base of the wick tab. You may want to use either a glue pot or a hot-glue gun for this portion of the step.

Using the barrel as a guide for the wick, press the tab to the center of your container. Now, you can slide the barrel off the wick.

i use silicone sealant similar to this http://www.google.com/products/catalog? ... FIQ8wIwAw# to adhere wicktabs to the bottom of my jars. I just squeeze a small amount directly onto the tab and press it into place with a wooden skewer. It holds up to high temps and is very secure.
