Fox Run Stick-Um Candle Adhesive, 0.5-Ounce

If you use tapered candles this product is a must have. It helps the tapers “stick” and “stay” in place in the candle holders. Great value. Will last. Very long time.

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.

Best stuff for keeping candles standing upright in candlesticks. They don’t fall or lean over.

It's a little challenging to get out without getting it under your nails. I recommend using a spoon.

Works!

Does not smell and is very sticky, and washes away easily with soap and water.

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.)

Actually, we got some of this in a packet that came with a candle and was amazed how easy it was to use so we bought more as it is amazing that candles don’t always fit right and this will make them always stand up perfect. It is also good for LED candles
