You have, hopefully, enjoyed the clean burning and natural experience of your tealights from Candle Cavern. The polycarbonate tealight cups left over have the ‘triangle’ recycle logo on the bottom and can be recycled however, please consider the benefits and enjoyment of refilling the cups with new wax and creating more tealights – made by your own hands and using our refill kit.

Kit includes;

1 kg Pure Soy or Rapeseed wax (+£2.00)

Min 64 Wick Blanks for Unscented Uncoloured Tealights (waxed wick with sustainer attached)

Packet of Glue Dots (min 64)

Instructions & Safety Notes 

Natural Wax leaflet

 The kit should have allow you to make 60-70 standard tealights.

There are a few items not included;

Additional Items Required – you will need to heat/melt the wax. For this, a double-boiler type system (Bain Marie) is best although a saucepan, trivet and smaller saucepan will achieve the same. Also, a ’pyrex’ (heat proof) style jar or similar as a pouring jug. A thermometer (ordinary kitchen/jam type will be suitable). Kitchen scales and some old newspapers in case of spillages. Calculator. Oven Gloves.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Existing Cups – Once the original tealights have finished you will need to check and make sure that the cups are able to be used again. They should have retained their (round) shape, have no splits/cracks or heat damage of any sort. If there are any signs of damage at all you should not refill them.
