An anti-flash wick (18) support (16) for candles having a candle floor. A candle floor includes the bottom surface of a container (12) and the lowest extremity of a freestanding candle. A wick sustainer (2) having a central bore (20) is adhered to the candle floor by an adhesive plug (24) which plugs the bore near the base (19) of the upright column of the wick sustainer. The wick extends downwardly into the bore and the adhesive plug (24) prevents fuel from being drawn upwardly by the wick (18) through the bore to a flame. The flame goes out once the fuel, such as molten wax (14) descends below the top end (17) of the wick sustainer. In an alternative embodiment, a pedestal (40) extends upwardly from, and attaches to, the container floor (42). A wick sustainer (48) rests upon the fuel impervious top surface (46) of the pedestal.
