flutterbye Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ok, I'm getting ready to try a new thing...Tea Lights. The biggest problem I have with the store bought ones is that halfway through the burn, the wick and tab tends to slide off to one side of the tea light cup. So I was thinking of using a glue dot on the bottom of the wick tab to hold the wick in place while burning. Does anyone else do this? Is it safe to do this with a tea light?

Vicky_CO Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I use the wick stickum in mine so I do not see a problem with using glue dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yes you can do that. When I get my wicks and cups in I spend some time hot gluing the wicks to the cups so that they are ready to go when I need to make some. Works great and you don't have to worry about the wick tabs shifting when you pour and burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbye Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Great! Thanks for your replies! I feel more comfortable about doing them that way now. Someone told me that the glue dots would catch on fire, which was probably not true.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi I also use hot glue. When I get a box of cups I glue all the wicks in so when I need them there ready. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
