Clear Glass Jar | Silver Screw Cap | Pack of 1 - Container Candle Making

Overview

Pour your candle into glass that was made for it. This is a clear glass jar with a silver metal screw cap, so the candle looks finished the moment the wax sets and the lid keeps the scent in between burns. The supplier does not state a capacity for this size. Once the candle is spent, wash it out and the jar earns a second life holding beads, sequins or spare wicks.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Home candle makers pouring container candles
• Small businesses that need a jar that looks finished without extra packaging
• Gift makers who want a lid on the candle
• Anyone reusing jars for bead and sequin storage

Creative Uses and Project Ideas

Perfect for:

• Soy and paraffin container candles
• Scented gift candles with the lid on
• Layered and two colour wax pours
• Dried flower topped candles
• Bead, sequin and finding storage after the candle is done

Compatibility

Works with: soy wax, paraffin wax, beeswax and gel wax, pre waxed wicks with a metal sustainer, candle dyes and fragrance oils.

Pairs well with: wick stickers and wick centring bars, candle warning labels, and gift boxes for finished candles.

Not suitable for: food or drink use, since no food grade rating is stated for this jar. Do not let a flame touch the glass wall, and do not burn a candle down past the last centimetre of wax.

How to Use

1. Wash the jar in warm soapy water and dry it completely, since any water left inside will spoil the wax.
2. Warm the empty jar slightly before pouring so the wax does not shrink away from the glass and leave wet spots.
3. Stick the wick centrally on the base with a wick sticker and hold it upright with a centring bar or two pencils.
4. Melt your wax, stir in colour and fragrance off the heat, and let it cool before pouring.
5. Pour slowly down the inside wall to limit bubbles, stopping short of the rim.
6. Leave it to set at room temperature, well away from a fan or a window.
7. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before the first burn, and fit the lid once the candle is fully cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much wax does this jar hold?

The supplier does not state a capacity for this jar, so we do not quote one. As a guide, weigh your wax against the jar filled with water before you pour a full batch.

What size wick should I use?

That depends on the jar diameter and your wax, not on the jar colour. Start with the wick your wax supplier recommends for a jar of this width, burn one as a test, and go up a size if a rim of unmelted wax is left after four hours.

Can I use this jar for food or drinks once the candle is gone?

We state no food grade rating for this jar, so we would keep it to dry craft storage. Beads, sequins, findings and spare wicks are all fine.

Is the glass heat resistant?

No heat rating is published for this jar. It is sold as a candle container and behaves like one, but never let the flame reach the wall and stop burning while a layer of wax is still in the base.
