SmellsSoSweet Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hi, I'm brand new to candle making, so please excuse me if this is a silly question. I saw some cute back seamless tins at Uline and was wondering if they could be used for candles (s-19908 and s-17906) https://www.uline.com/BL_5648/Deep-Metal-Tins. I tried to search the boards to see if anyone has successfully used these before, but I didn't find anything. Also, I have read about using modpodge to seal the inside of candle tins. Does this work to prevent discoloration of the inside of the tins? I have a fragrance oil which is very high in vanillin which I would like to be able to use in candle tins. Thanks!

BusyBee Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I use Uline tins, and they are great in quality. It will last forever without discoloring or rust. Even if your FO has high vanillin content, I think it should be okay without modpodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Seamless tins should be ok for candles. I would try as-is. Often they are made with material that will not easily rust. Some are sprayed with something already. I have never had issues with tins rusting, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now narrowed down to 10 scents and 6 of them will stain. The higher the ethyl vanillin, the faster it seems to stain. But even the one that is a low % starts to stain after 3-4 months. I'm willing to switch to different brand if it solves the problem! (8 and 16 oz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(8 and 16 oz) Most recently (last 7+ years) seamless 8oz deep, clear lid from specialty bottle. Last order was in 2019 though, so with supply issues I can’t assure the ones sold today are the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should also ask if you make any that are reasonably high in vanillin/citrus/cinnamon that are known to stain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
