I always use the glass insert from Ikea, just to be on the safe side & at about 19p each they wont break the bank.
I put the link to the inserts in that thread but I`ll repeat it here

Hi Alex I have made quite a few in the past but I dare not say with all the health and safety issues of today all I will say is I have never had one single complaint of fire one set our son still uses after 10 years which consist of 12 bits of 3" x 3" Oak of different lengths that can be arranged in all different designs

I have made many in the past Alex and had no problems. You can buy glass inserts to put the tea light in as a precaution. You can buy them from Ikea or Wilkinsons for next to nothing !!!!!
Dose anyone know what size the glass bit is from Ikea

No.
But I have in the past bought some Ikea glass bits and they are good, they are cheap, and they do vary dimensionally, But Doug is better qualified than I to pass comment on the dimensional regularity of these.
Off the top of my head I seem to think I have a 50mm bit for them, but I will check in the morning for you if no one comes up with a definite answer before then.
Thanks that would be great

Years ago in my church we had around 30 families of Samoans and as a treat for us they put on a concert included in this was a candle dance lights out each person with a tea light in hand very rythmic, beautiful well candles are total no nos in any of our buildings but what the heck. That night one of our Samoan kids went home lit a candle in a renovation room in a loose rolled carpet burnt half the house down as woody said OH&S. Millions of tea lights sold around the world rather you than me in this litigeous time.
Kind regards Peter.
