BruceCarvesWax Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ebay has a seller that has a bunch of supplies listed. One of the lots I noticed in her auctions has a 2 gallon glass jar with glass lid like walmart sells now. She says she makes a CONTAINER candle out of it. Gets 100.00 each and they last for 2 months. Just caught me strange. LOL I guess I'm just tired but that just cracks me up for some reason. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Geez, where's the link? LOLThat would be one big container...is it double wicked? Triple? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 She doesnt have a candle for sale in this auction, just the jar and some wax and wicks. She is just telling all the good peeps that look at the auction that she used them to make container candles. http://cgi.ebay.com/HUGE-LOT-OF-CANDLE-SUPPLIES-HUGE-2-GALLON-JAR-DYES_W0QQitemZ8251382355QQcategoryZ28117QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah I was looking at that earlier too. I wonder how many wicks you'd have to put in that sucker. Wonder how many she actually tested to get the wicking right, LOL! Probably nil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Geez, where's the link? LOLThat would be one big container...is it double wicked? Triple? LOLI think your should just throw all the wicks in that big jar, and fill it up with wax. OH and drop in a color block too. Very interesting auction. Its a fun read on a late night.

Luvcandletarts2 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I saw that auction also. I thought it was pretty funny. 2 months of burning on the same candle? That would be a whopping 1,440 hours of burn time, lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Oh man! Shutter, you're right...she needs to spell check! That was painful to read, but quite funny too..Thanks for the laugh Bruce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuuppy Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 As I recall, that jar is about 16 inches accross. Near as I can figure, you'd need something like 13 or 17 wicks, depending on how you lay them out. 2 Gallons is gonna be around 15 Lbs of wax.I figure a pillar might burn around 12 hours for every inch and these things are about 2 feet deep.... That would be 288 hours. That would be 12 days of solid burning. Even if I'm way off, that's a lot short of 30 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstlady Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Now who in the world would want a big container candle like that LOL! if it did get a full m/p . the smell would probably kill you:p my tarts in a dish on warmer, in my 21 x22 living room gets so strong that sometimes i will turn off warmer within just a couple hours. besides if i paid $100.00 for a candle that baby better last longer than a month:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
