Lightning Bug Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi. Just wondering if frosted jars hide some of the soy problems like wet spots? On a search, it sounded like they are weaker due to the frosting process. But they sell them for candles, so? Any experience with frosted jars? TIA.

AngelaVA Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I don't think that a frosted jar will hide a wetspot since the jar is still transparent. But they look really pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal CandleMaker Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Right they don't hide any flaws but I love the look (super pretty with any hue) and so do alot of customers. No ones reported any problems as far as weakness goes. A good rule of thumb is to go with food and beverage quality glassware. Frosted is also great for hurricanes (a votive in a votive holder placed in a frosted hurricane with pieces of colored glass is so easy but really striking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've been using a 6 oz frosted votive with a soy blend and I think they look really nice. The frosting doesn't really hide wet spots, but it does sort of distract the eye from flaws in the wax. I have also heard that frosted glass is weaker, but I haven't yet broken one. I've broken of few of the others though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I had some wet spots in my 12oz frosted beanpot jars. IMO, it made them look worse, due to the fact that the glass was not "clear". I think it took away from the frosted look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process to make frosted glass is just an acid bath, that only etches the surface of the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 That's good to hear. It wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
