Trappeur Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This is probably a stupid question....but I was wondering with all the cat food cans I throw out daily, how would they make as no wick candles as like a tin that you can put on a warmer? Yay? Nay? Would they get too hot? Maybe just too tacky? hmmmm Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ya know, you'll just have to try it out to decide if it will work............Once you get the ''burn'' down to a science then you could eliminate the cat-food label. I"ve never been into burning this type of candle(tines) . As a related topic, I do recycle various jars for container candles.....like a jar of chopped pickle relish makes a perfect candle using 4630 with a #6 ECO wick. But all that said, I do not like burning tins any size or FO....for me, they just get too hot for the amt of throw...but that's just me.

I bet you could find a way to make them super cute and rustic with your labels and some embellishments. They're just metal, right? Seems to me they would work just fine as a Wickless candle. I have a ton of tuna cans, they're about the same size, let's test it out! I have two plate warmers in two different rooms... They just go right on the hot plate, right? I've never used a Wickless candle before, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Is there any way to determine if those cans have some sort of lining? then there’s the sharp bits around the lip to consider. Even the pop top cans have them, so it would take some time to make them “safe” for retail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
