nursenancy Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 does anybody know of a smaller stickum for tealight tabs? i wanty to get back into tealights, but I want to use 15 mm tabs and anchor them. Last time i made them i didn't use stickums and the wick wandered and some of the plastic cups melted a little. Don't want a fire!Thanks Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I just bought a box of sticky glue dots for scrapbooking. Got the smallest ones they had, work great since there is no pulling the wick tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iammommytwo Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 FWIW- I never use stickums for tealights. I just put a couple of drops of wax down, and stick the tab to it, then pour the rest. Never had a problem doing it that way.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiptooth Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I glue mine down with a glue stick or the GE household silicone glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
