mizbizzyb Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 The lady that does my nails asked me to make her a wickless candle so she can take to work at the county jail, and I agreed even though I haven't made them. The jars that I have successfully tested wicked are the tins and tureens. Would either of these jars be okay to give to her wickless?Thanks in advance!

Labgal Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I work in a correctional facility and glass is a no no there. The tins should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Fire and Glass are out, I feel the tin would be also, sharp and could be fashioned into a weapon.Might try pouring in styrofoam cups with no wick.Suggest getting approval from authorities FIRST.(retired from Dept of Correction)FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 If she can get them approved a 4 or 8 oz tin would work great for a candle warmer. If tins are a no no how about putting some aroma beads in muslin bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Are the candles meant for the employees or the inmates? I didn't realize all these rules still applied, if it is not something to be given to the inmates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 The candle is for her personal use in her office. She said she has a candle warmer on her desk. I'll call her later and make sure she can use it. I would assume she could if she asked. She's worked there for 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hmmm, I would think maybe a seamless tin would be okay? If not, you could always try dipping bears.Did someone say styrofoam cup? Wouldn't that melt on a warmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Since most you see for sale are glass I would assume that is what she uses. The shorter wider candles work best. The ball wide mouth 8 oz are great for this, the bottom of the jar should be about the same as the warmer. Now if she has the candle warmer from Lanz??? then they are huge and are only for 28 oz or larger candles. See what kind she has and if it is the flat warmer type like they sell a Michaels then the smaller jar is fine. You can also place a cup or bowl on them and melt tarts. They work great but just don't last as long as a large candle but are cheaper and scents can be changed often. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
