Trappeur Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I ordered a sample amber jar from Container and Packaging of which I made up a candle...but this is really weird. The top 1/3 of the glass jar when looking at the finished product is darker than the bottom. You can see the natural soy color of the wax on the bottom 2/3 and the top 1/3 is darker. At first I thought the wax solidified darker but it didn't. It is the jar. When I ordered some sample jars from the company I asked them if the jar was sprayed the amber color like the jars at Candle Science but they said the jar is an all glass amber color and not sprayed. I really like the jar though. Maybe I'm being just too picky....probably am...so do you think it is ok to make a candle in this jar? I'm sure some will be like this this and I guess some won't come in like this. I really liked the amber jars at Candle Science but there are no lids for theirs and after reading the negative reviews on how they are just sprayed the amber color inside the glass and how they scratch easily, it turned me off of the jar. I would probably have ordered a sample of C.S. jar and put them in a craft box since they offer no lids, but with negative reveiews would not. Thanks.

TallTayl Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Photobucket is beginning to require payment to host photos, to the tune of about $400 per year. You can load your photo directly to the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yes, that is exactly what happened TT....dang! All those pictures I have saved on their site......They sent out a notice a couple of weeks ago to the tune of now paying and they offer different plans..I'm not independently wealthy that I could afford that... Ok so how can I get pictures on here now? It used to be we couldn't copy and paste pictures here. Has that changed? I'll have to resize them too. Could you tell me what to do? Thanks so much!

So much crap I had to do withPhotobucket to get a picture to their site and then make smaller and then have to copy there and paste here.....Wow so easy here! And so BIG!!! LOL..........Worked like a charm! love how easy to do! Ok so now for feed back from everyone? Maybe I better go and do another new post for the ones who already looked? Nah, I'll wait a bit...ok, see what I was talking about the shading of the glass jar? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hey Tall Tayle! I see you! Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Shading? I didn't notice anything until you pointed it out. Still does not bother me in the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 It wouldn't bother you? Yeah, I agree too...but when you look at the jar sitting in the light it shows up more.....but I'm not going to sweat buckshot over this. I wished they had a nicer lid like a metal lid and I even tried the canning jar lids but they don't screw on tight at all...though I did have one that fit perfect...but that was just one. oky dokey....thanks Tall Tayle! Trappeur I just love how easy you can put up pictures here! lol, lol All this friggin time I have been putsin around with photobucket...ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixFyre Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I think they look cool. I've never been partial to amber containers, but I like the way that one looks. As a customer, it would make me do a double take...the jar and how awesome your labels are and how fabulous I already know your candle looks inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thankyou PhoenixFrye.....lol I know what your talking about....my doo dads...yep I put one in here. I'm testing this jar and made it Bittercreeks "Grandma's Kitchen". Which I use as home made apple pie of which I add a little teeney bit of Indiana's pie crust just enough so you can get a whiff of it. I'm testing this jar in a cd 8. Now comes the 2 week cure...argh...... I just noticed on the 3'rd picture there is a seam in the jar.....hmmmm...well now that I know that I will be sure to place that seam on the back of the jar and I even noticed a wet spot...oh well on that...just one of those things.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I love it! Yes, the jar's shading. And, of course, the label is perfect as always. That wick looks so much thicker than my Premiers. May I ask what you are using? Goldie Edited July 10, 2017 by GoldieMN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I think it looks cool. Have you tested it yet? Might make for an interesting glow as the candle burns down. And the label is gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 What exactly are you complaining about lol ! I don't see one thing wrong with the jar or the wax - just gorgeous as always Ive always loved the amber glass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Black Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ya Trap, ive always liked the rustic/different feel amber jars give off. And the glow is nice as well. I know a few sites that sell this jar and wonder if you have tried the cobalt blue ones they also sell? I bet you could make a nice label for those, your labels are always so very nice ;p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Love the jar - love the labels I think it's super cool looking the shading so don't sweat it, I'm sure they will be a big a hit ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
