Those are great tips Thankyou. I did some of them before I wrote the original post..fridge, pliers and hubbies vice in the garage, jiggling the pin to try to enlarge the hole. But you’ve given a few other ideas and I’m going to have another go as I do like the idea of popping the votive into different glasses and giving a spare too, as presents
What size wick did you use? I think the NT 29 will work with a bit of practise.
It’s interesting as I’m getting a really nice flame with NT29, been burning for 4 evenings now and still going strong. The glass is looking v clean
My trials with NT 29, 32 and 35 with wax directly into the glass and votive wick with sustainers also going well. Burnt for 2 nights and all burning at similar rates. The larger wicks are giving slightly larger flames.
Pic below is the NT29 after 4 nights and a couple of tea lights I’m burning tonight in some new tea light glasses
Pls advise re your wick size experience thanks v much, it’s v helpful
