KandleKim Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have tried Ecosoya CB Advanced for my tealights using both S330 wicks and 18-342T, with no success. They burn for 20 mins then the flame shrinks and eventually is so low the melt will actual start to re-harden.It has been suggested that I try the CB 135. What HTP wick works best with tealights?Would adding Beeswax help with hardness??Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!Kimwww.Kimdles.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSR Candles Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The only tealight wicks I have had good luck with are the ones from CandleScience. I use the TL28's and TL31's, depending on the particular fo/color combinations. I tried quite a few other ones, and they just couldn't handle the soy wax - they behaved much as you just described, or just never got hot enough to melt more than half of the tealight in the first place.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandleKim Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Brian:Thanks for your input. What does a TL28 or TL31 equate to with respect to an HTP wick?? I am in Canada and have not seen that type listed on any CDN suppliers sites. Would it be like a HTP 28? I currently use an HTP73 for my 5oz jars and votives.
