gingerinarkansas Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Can wickless jar candles be made out of a harder wax, such as a votive wax? Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerinarkansas Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have more votive wax than I do container wax and I don't use it as much so I thought maybe it would work wickless. It might look ugly when it starts melting since it doesn't adhere to the jar. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahseyac Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 You can but it doesn't make an attractive candle. It's not a one pour wax so it will cave in once it cools down the first time. Plus it will pull away from the sides and look like a colored brick stuck in the jar. (Don't ask how I know this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 One thing - your warmer may not get hot enough to fully melt the candle since votive waxes have a higher mp than container. It also won't look as nice and may fall out of the container or at least rattle around in there. Personally, I would go with a good one-pour container wax instead.

gingerinarkansas Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks for the help. I was hoping to use up some of my votive wax but so much for that idea. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
