DonnaBDL Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I use a soy/cottenseed wax and need help on wicking tea lights. The wick that normally comes with the tea light cups are not making it with the wax I use:shocked2: . Can anyone give me a suggestion on the wicks they use with these little guys using soy.

Jeana Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 For my wax I really like using the Premier 700 wicks. But you may try some from the TL series which are specially made for Tealights. You can buy a sample pack with all the sizes from Candlescience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaBDL Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thank you, I will try both of those wick series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I found the 705's to be too small (w/plain soy), but I had some left over LX 8's and they are perfectw/a blend like you mentioned, you can probably go smaller than me.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soygirl Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I normally use a CD-3 with my soy tea lights, but you might need to wick up to a CD-4 with the cottonseed blend. I can send you a few of my CD-3 wicks in an envelope if you'd like. I'd be interested in knowing how they work for other soy blends. I make them myself, because they were just getting so expensive. They are coated with soy pillar wax. Just PM me if you're interested.Thanks,Margie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
