Thank you Beth for asking this question about tealight melt pools, and thank you 'geek' for responding. I recently began making soy tealights with HTP-31 wicks and have a few additional questions: * I can see the wick base after 30 minutes of burning, although the oil has not reduced significantly in height. Is this normal? * How does the container type, plastic versus aluminum, affect melt pool depth, wax temperature, and burn rate? Thanks in advance, Jonathan
