These brass inserts are commonly used to line holes in wooden candle holders where durability and safety are important. They provide a protective barrier, preventing wax seepage and reducing heat stress on wood surfaces. They are popular in DIY and professional woodworking projects involving candlesticks, taper holders, and decorative block-style lights. The uniform brass finish also adds a clean interior that improves the visual appearance of handcrafted candle holders. Educators, craft kit makers, and artisans often include them in bulk supply for classroom candle projects and retail-ready craft kits. A unique use for this insert size is fitting them into repurposed log or branch candle holders, offering both stability and durability while keeping the rustic exterior intact.

  • Will this insert fit directly into a 29/32" drilled hole?
    Yes, it is manufactured for 29/32" diameter holes and will seat in place with a snug, reliable fit.
  • Does it require sanding or finishing?
    Generally, you don’t need to sand brass inserts before using them with unfinished wooden candlesticks, unless there’s oxidation, burrs, or manufacturing residue on the surface. Here’s a breakdown:
  • If the inserts are smooth and clean: You can install them directly. Brass inserts are designed to fit snugly into predrilled holes and grip via threads or knurling.
  • If they’re rough or slightly oxidized: Lightly buffing with fine steel wool (0000 grade) or 400+ grit sandpaper can help ensure a cleaner look and smoother fit. Wipe off dust or oils afterward.
  • If appearance matters (e.g., visible brass rim): You can polish them before installation so they look clean against the unfinished wood.
  • How does it stay in place?
  • The four crimps along the sides allow the insert to grip the hole securely, preventing candle wobble or shifting.
  • What kinds of candles are compatible?
    These inserts are designed for taper and votive styles with bases matching the cavity depth and diameter.
  • How much additional weight do they add?
    Each weighs about 0.006 lbs (≈0.10 oz), a minimal addition suitable for all project sizes.
  • Are bulk packs available?
    Yes, they are offered in packages of 10, 25, 100, or larger bulk quantities for workshops and commercial production.
  • Can these inserts be used in materials other than wood?
    Yes, they can be set into wood, resin, or ceramic holders that have a drilled cavity sized at 29/32".

The brass candle cup insert provides durability, consistent sizing, and added safety for custom candle holders. With its lightweight build and snug fit, it’s a practical choice for both DIY projects and professional woodworking for candle displays.
