What can I use in place of wick stickers?

I’ve got to make a huge batch of candles this weekend and only have one sheet of wick stickers left, and the store I get them from is an hour away and I can’t really spare the gas money. I’ve heard people say they use hot glue instead of stickers. I’ve also heard people say they use craft glue or superglue but I don’t have either of those, but I do have hot glue. The thing is I use metal tins instead of glass jars. Would hot glue work okay with metal?
