Better way of holding candle at an angle

[Jenny Physics]

In one of the experiments I give to my students, they need to set a burning candle at different (fixed) angles.
In the past they have taped the candle to a cup and a needle taped to the cup like in the following picture.
This is quite inefficient because for the same angle they need to tape and un-tape the candle (to measure its weight etc) a few times and each time they need to measure the angle again.
Any suggestions on a better way to do this that doesn't require taping the candle? Perhaps using two poles set at a given distance each with screw eyes on which the candle rests? This way the candle can be slid back and out without having to set the angle again.

Why not simply use a lab clamp? See for instance http://www.labdepotinc.com/c-75-clamps-clamp-holders.php

Just keep the setup on the scale for the whole experiment and let the wax drip onto something that is not supported by the scale...
