Devcon Silicone Sealer

Love this glue. Non-messy...seals quickly & very strong. No more glue sticks or dots for me. By far the best for gluing the wicks to the jars or containers.

Could not be happier with my choice in switching to this glue. I was afraid it would be messy but found it easy to work with and not messy at all. Absolutely love it and it is very reasonably priced

This works much better than wick stickers because you can push the wick tab all the way to the base of your vessel letting you get more burn out of each candle. I've also used hot glue which gives a similar benefit but you run the risk of the wick "floating" if your jar gets too hot near the end. The only downside is that it's harder to remove the adhesive if you re-use your jars. Once you get the tube open, you probably want to wick a full 100 or so of your jars all at once to prevent wasting silicon that cures in the nozzle.

I haven’t tried any other method for setting my wicks so I can’t compare it to anything. It seems it sets up/dries pretty quick, which is nice is you want to make same day candles. I usually pre mine the day before though to ensure it has enough time to completely dry.
