Scented Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 That they burn. If they're scented, you're going to want throw and an idea of how long they burn. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Jenn, the more in the pot, the more you spill. Try pouring into a small paper cup, then filling the tealights. They are too much of a PITA for me. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Making sure they don't catch fire is a good place to start. OH and for pouring that many tealights, you really should get yourself a tealight mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerrie Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 You can get the mold from Candlewic.com, it's a real time saver for sure. You wick them when you take them out of the mold, it is so easy. But beware, not all tealight cups will fit the tealights that come out of that tealight mold. I only buy my cups from Candlewic.com since the mold was designed to use with thier cups. If anyone knows of a place that sell the exact same cups as candlewic please post. I got some from Candlescience, they sure look the same, but they must be just a hair smaller cause I really have to push those tealights from the Candlewic mold into those cups, they don't work well at all.

Sharon in KY Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I have the clear cup from CW and their molds too but they are not as full as the cups. Makes them look skimpy when I use the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
