Tealight Wicks

[SheilaW]

I have googled and looked at supplier sites until I'm crosseyed.

I need some tealight wicks that fit the cups I have.

10-15mm base with 3mm neck (Thanks for that info Cet) At this point I don't care if they are zincs, lx or whatever.

As with any other candle, wick size and type must be tailored to wax and candle size. It does matter.

You can get them at candlewic using their custom wick builder. Not sure if you need 500 though!

If I find some to fit the tealight cups I have, then I plan on making the wax to fit the wicks so to speak.

I've been using the TLs from http://www.candlescience.com/site/shop/wick/assemblies/pretabbed-wick.php The 13 through 18 will work with straight paraffin usually - its just how hot you want them to burn. You can get a sample kit from them, and the sample kit DOES have all the sizes 13 - 31, even though the website says 13 - 21. These assemblies do have a 15mm base so they WILL fit into the indent of a standard tealight cup. I use the 15mm wick stickums from BCN.

or been tabing my own with the wTA3789 from http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page.cfm?queries_index=index7&ProductCodeID=36&ProductSubCodeID=65

HTH.

Just as long as its a match.

http://www.candlescience.com is a good place for tealight wicks.
