Tealight Holders UK? My Thanks

Peter, I have just spent ages searching the web for tealight holders, including the Ikea site, but not found anything suitable. I don't know don't know what you were after, but I was looking for as small as possible plain glass - like you find as inserts in the in the now popular wrought iron holders. Did you fond any of these on your travels?

On a more general note, am I right in assuming that if a tealight is placed directly into a bored hole in wood it could ignite the wood, and that a glass insert would prevent this?

TIA

Richard, I have turned tealight holders without inserts and the wood doesn't even get warm. Prior to making them I took some convincing that my wood wouldn't go up in flames :)

=========================== There have been some cases of wooden holders catching fire. I don't know the particulars, but have been told by others that it has happened to them. Take that as you like. When I turn one, I glue a penny in the bottom. That gives it some clearance for air circulation, and allows for heat dissipation. It also makes sure my turning has some value! {:-)

If I'm only doing 1, I use a drop of RTV; if several, then I have some high temp epoxy (red) that is used for A/C repair. If I remember, it came from Grainger.

Thanks for the information. I'll try it.
