Louise Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Glade Scented Oil Candles? My friend saved all her little metal wick cup tab things and we made our own refills. They work like a hot damn. My question is, do you think that the flat metal wick tabs would work just like their cupped wick tab or do you feel it's the cupped shape that helps feed the melted wax up to the wick? I'm just wondering about this and we meant to make a flat tabbed one to try out, but we forgot in all our excitement, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I just tried those and they don't smell worth a crap and only last an hour or two. But the container's are cute and would like to try to make refills. How long do the ones you make last? Which wick worked for you? I have a bunch of different wicks so maybe I have the right one.

Louise Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sharon, we made them so they last only as long as the Glade ones do, which is a couple of hours. That's all they were really meant to burn actually. But I imagine you could make your refills a little bigger than theirs so they would burn longer. Just be careful how big you make them, as all the melted wax needs to fit in the dish.I used a veggie container wax and a pre-prepped wick. I believe they were Proforma 95.
