Wessex Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Glass tea lights? Don't think I've ever seen those. Do you have a pic or link? Or are you thinking about the glass tea light holders?Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I've used 464 in glass tealight holders.. just large enough that a tealight fits perfectly in it.... it adheres nicely in glass, i make sure to warm my containers first, that helps for the little glass tealight containers, with soy particularly, you need to wick up. The tealight wicks are not large enough to reach the edges, no matter how long I burned them.http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00114167^tealight cups I've usedC-40's from peaks were appropriate for this container... C-30's just couldnt handle it.http://www.peakcandle.com/products/25-C-40-Cotton-Core-Pre-tabbed-Wicks__W1045.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminousBoutique Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 ooh same deal though, warm the glass, it helps the wax cool more evenly You can use your oven, although I find its easiest to just blast the containers with my heatgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
