Kay Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 So 4 hours is good???..I lite it at 8:30am & it went out about 1pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Try wicking down and see what you get. Mine will go 5-6 hours, but they're not quite hot enough to work well in a tart burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 they are melting my tarts & smelling real good, but dont seem to last but 4 hours. I buy the ones from wal-mart (on occasion) & they last forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I make mine with GB 415 or GB 444 and a CD 3, mine last 5 to 6 hours. I also use the plastic cups. I like to make mine scented to match the melts for an "extra kick" but don't have the patience to pour bunches of them. I get tired of them after about 30 I get about 4 hours from my unscented ones I get from walmart or walgreens in the metal cups so you are in the right ballpark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeana Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Does anyone else get arm cramps pouring tea lights? Is there an easier way? I cant seem to not make a mess either..i always "OVER POUR'em)Yes, there is an easier way. You can buy a tealight mold from Candlewic. You use wick pins, then pour in the mold, pop them out when they are cool, put the wick in and put in the container. It is super easy. They run about $30 but worth every penny. http://www.candlewic.com/store/Product.aspx?q=cTea-Light+Molds,p208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
