Taper-dipping wick comb

Dip several pairs of taper candles evenly

Lay the comb across the dipping can and drop a looped wick into each V notch, where the slit pinches it: five pairs of tapers hang at an even 30 mm spacing, so they never touch, and every dip goes to the same depth. Lift the whole comb to dip and hang it on two hooks to cool.
