Tealight wax preference?

[j1workman]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had a wax preference for tealights? The reason I ask is because I was thinking of using my leftover wax from my other projects as a way of using every last drop, particularly container wax (j223 or 4630). Of course I would use a different wick for the different waxes, but I was curious if anyone else made tealights for this purpose. Any feedback would be great! :rolleyes2

I always use my leftover votive wax for my tealights. I have used my container wax, but not for tealights to sell. Portia

I use igi 4630 wax and use plastic tealight cups to use up leftover wax. I also use metal tealight cups for using up pillar wax. I also use all of my leftover wax to make layered candles. And I use zinc wicks.

I use my votive wax. When I'm pouring votives, whatever is left over goes in the tealight mold. I don't sell them - just give them as freebies with orders.

I originally was going to just try and make them, but I have all of this leftover wax in some of my pouring pots, and I hate pouring leftovers into dixie cups, so I thought maybe tealights mights be a good option. I would only use them myself, or maybe give a few to my friends.

So plastic cups would be good for container wax (j223 or 4630) and metal would be better for my pillar wax (1343)?

I appreciate your responses so far.

I did look into that tealight mold with candlewic - are they the only ones who do molds? Someone mentioned flexiblemolds in another thread, but I could not find them on the internet. Anyone?
