Tins

[flair]

I am thinking of ordering some tins and trying it.... Do you guys see a decent market for 8oz tins????  I know everyone's business is different but I do want to try it.. Anything different that I need to know before ordering the tins and trying this? Pitfalls? Beware??

My tins do very well, in fact I'm in the process of making 60 for a client, that I met at the farmers market.

I do tins year round. They wick differently because of the nature of the material and the short, squatty dimensions. Like ay other container, test, test, test.

ETA: i do the 8 oz, which hold about 6 weighed ounces.

I would suggest the candle tins with the feet, if you will, on the bottom.

I get mine from Candle Science.

I use the samebarbaranj. Plus, they are lined, so no discoloration with some fragrances that are prone to discoloration.

I've used the same tins. They are nice, but I'm not sure if I want to stick with jars or offer both. I use 6006 and CD wicks in them, some with eco's.

Also, I was just looking over some of the test tins I have kept and there is rust in some spots. They have never gotten wet.
