Tealight makers dilemma

[themackay]

Just been to larger pounstetcher they had about 40 packs on the shelf so bought 15 of them

And I left 7 on the shelf at the Witney store - all vanilla toffee.

Sizes: there is a slight taper from top to bottom
Top ext Ø 52mm
Top int Ø 47mm
Bottom ext Ø 49.5mm
Height 32.5mm

Obviously I can't measure the bottom interior diameter without destroying the contents.
My standard tealight (if there is such a thing) measures 37mm Ø x 15mm high.

My workshop now smells the best it's ever been.

Having retrieved a selection of poundstretcher offerings today kindly obtained for me by Robbo3, I have had chance to compare them with the IKEA version.

The base diameter of the PS version is a fraction bigger than the top diameter of the IKEA version.

The PS version requiring a 52mm dia. X 33mm deep hole if totally inserted.
Ikea version requiring a 47mm dia. X 24mm deep hole if totally inserted.

Just been to B&Q at the Forge, Glasgow and they are selling these at £2 for 12... Very similar to the old Glimma from IKEA. They measure 49mm (top diameter), 45 (bottom diameter) x 24mm
