kfintoni Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello all,I hope you do not find this a silly question but what do you all use to keep the wick straight on a tea lite? My normal wick holders will not work and I don't have enought hands to hold them straight. Any suggestions? :rolleyes2Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I give them a few minutes to start to cool and then straighten them manually, but I glue my tabs to the bottom. This way they don't wander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I am a big fan of masking tape. Before you pour them, tear off a few dozen strips that will fit across the top and down on the sides. I use masking tape for all of my wick straightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabaluga Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 My friend made me a wood strip that is slightly higher of the surface than the tealight. I clue the wicked down, line them up against the wood and fill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleFeather Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I let mine cool to the point where they're getting a little thick on the bottom, and then put the wicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
