hometowncandles Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Ok, seems like I'm just full of questions lately. I had a fellow chandler give me some apothecary jars the other day that she isn't going to use. They are 16 ounce Anchor Hocking Jars, I have been using 16 ounce apothecary jars from the Jar Store. The Anchor Hocking Jars are a little thicker than what I have been using. My question is, if I use these jars am I going to need to retest? Or does a slight difference in thickness matter enough to affect the burn?TIAJennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 You should re-test. The thickness of the glass can affect hangup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hometowncandles Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 That's what I was afraid of I guess the jars will just have to sit for a while. No time to retest now.Thanks Top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I got some of the thicker glass jars and really didn't like them for candles. Yes - I did have to wick differently when I tested so decided to not use them. I did come across a good use for them after having them for about a year, just the other day. In my opinion, they make good wickless candles so that is what I have done with them until they are all gone. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
