So I almost just ordered the little tin holders & wicks for tealights from betterbee - it would have run about $20 per hundred total. But then I got to thinking - tealights from Ikea are about $3 per hundred, and the wicks are easy to pop out. Then I've got a whole lot of mystery wax from the unburned tealights that I have to deal with, but wouldn't it work? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks!

Betterbee's tea light wicks do NOT work with beeswax. Trust me. Then if you want to use them for paraffin or any other wax, the flame is too high. Bee careful with this one...I've cracked several candle holders and almost caught my kitchen on fire because of this.
I found that a mix of 3/4 soy to 1/4 beeswax burns best with their wicks. I tried to tell them about it but they wouldn't listen to me and didn't seem to care if they worked or not.
