FunFlames Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I was just going to post something right along these lines...I actually made tealights using the TL wicks from CS. They started out burning ok, I thought maybe a little weak. After 5 1/2 hours they were still going and only 1/2 was gone. The flame bacame so weak an ant could have blown it out. After doing a bit of reseach I found Premier 700, 705 & 710; CD&CDN 2&3; LX 8&10; ECO .2,.5 & 1 and HTP 13 & 31 are all suggested for tea lights.I need to know which of these would be a hotter, larger flame than the TL.

kbuck Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I make soy tea-lights and use a CD-3 wick in them.HTH,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlames Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hey Kim,Does the CD3 have a pretty hardy flame? How long do yours last with that wick? I obviously need a stronger one than I have.TIADanielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbuck Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 They last a fairly long time. My burn time is between 5-6 hours with a nice scent throw. The flame just right without drowning out or becoming a torch. I get my wicks pre-tabbed and extra long. I then buy extra wick tabs, so I get use the part of the wick that I cut off. I have only been making tea-lights for about a year, but I have gotten a very good response on them so far. I have sold over 1000 tea-lights last year easily. I haven't added them to website yet, since we are looking at relocated and I will probably change my company name then. HTH,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennB Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I use CD-3 with pure soy. They last 8-10 hours and I use the bigger plastic tealights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore1074 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I Had Another Question I Was Going To Ask Earlier But I Forgot.do You Add More Scent To The Wax For The Tealights?maybe 1.5 Ounces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty in SC Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I like to use the htp 31. I buy the longer length and then cut it up and make my own tealite wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbuck Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I use the same amount of fragrance that I use in my container wax.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlene Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I use CD-3 with pure soy. They last 8-10 hours and I use the bigger plastic tealights JennB...if you don't mind me asking, where do you get your larger plastic tealights. I received the one on the left as part of a gift set. It's a tick under 1" tall. The second one is the standard size and only size I've been able to find. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
