KCScentsations Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I wanted to add these jars in my line. Does anyone know where I can find plastic lids to fit this jar? It's a votive holder (I have tested one already and it burns great as a regular candle in this jar) but I wanted to make ALL my candles in this jar. The jar square-cut 3" glass candleholders. Square-Cut Glass Votive Holders. Any help will be great appreciated. SmiliesKeshia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sorry I have no idea about the lids... I just wanted to thank you for posting that link! I had no idea they did this. No hunting for one or 2 pieces here and there fighting people at the store. Buy by the case and pick up at the store with no shipping charges. :highfive:Off to shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol M Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sounds like I need to make it a point to go to DT more often; those are really cute containers! If you're using them as filled votives, about how much wax do they hold? I'm assuming the 3" is the exterior measurement, and if they're "heavyweight", then the walls are probably pretty thick; are they 3" high, as well?

That's the best part for me. They hold about 10oz to 11oz depending on how much you want. I'm using 11oz with mine and still have space at the top (very little but some). They're 3" all the way around the jar. Testing burning three now and the scent throw on all are to die for. So far so good.grama:Thanks for telling me that. I'm going to look right now. I was thinking of adhesive covers so that's perfect if they have them. Keshia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thank you, Keshia. I pass right by a DT on my way to do a job that I have on weekends; I'll stop in and pick up a couple to test, if they're in stock. This is a good price on a heavy container with that capacity and any time you can avoid shipping $$, that's icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin146 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Heres a tip When I cannot find tops for some of my jars I get a clear round label and place it on the top of the jar and trim it. If I want the smell of the candle to come through I just use a hole punch to put a hole in the top and your coustmers can still smell the candle. Works on a pinch.

I'm using zinc in mine but the 51's are taking a longer time to burn around the entire container. The 44's are burning better for me.Keshia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melann Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Are you single or double wicking these jars? Thanks Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You might try GenWax, they had some plastic tops for square jars. I know they will cost more than the jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina Where are you finding clear labels big enough for these jars? I just ordered from Online Labels and didn't see any. I'll check again, Oh now I remember, you had to order a bunch and I only wanted a sheet or two. ThanksI'll have to get a couple of sample pages next time I order.

KCScentsations Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Are you single or double wicking these jars? Thanks MelissaThe testing I'm doing now are with single wicks. I'm now waiting on more wicks to come so I can try another size before I double wick. I like single wicking alot better then double wicking. So I hope these new wicks works. I've tested (44-20-18z), (51-32-18z). Both burned just ok for me with alittle hang up on the sides. Not very much but I like to get a full meltpool.Keshia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melann Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks Keshia. I tried one 51z and couldn't get a full melt pool. I'm considering a 60z or two 44z's. I'm using KY Parasoy.Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScentsations Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 melann- I'll keep you updated on the 60z's. Just got them in today.Keshia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksI'll have to get a couple of sample pages next time I order.I do the same for my wal-mart libby jars, and I buy the "whole sheet" labels, the generic kind they sell at staples, and trace around the top of the jar with a pencil onto the sheet, then cut it out.

Marcus Daniel Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I know this doesn't have anything to do w/the plastic lids. But I have purchased about 20 of the same size container from DT and I am using GB415, no dye, 7 or 8% FO and I have tried to single wick it, I have even went to HTP1312, still can't get a full melt pool, I did try (2) 51z's and it did good, the reason I did the zinc was I had tried all the other wicks that I had and they have not worked. I wish I could single wick it, but I just don't know. I have since then, ordered some RRD's and HTP's 73 and 83's and I guess I will double wick it, I know that sounds like the wicks might be to big but, I have spoke to alot of different individuals from different companies and they have all told me w/soy - you always have to wick up and sometimes not just one size. I am going to get my wicks Tuesday and then I will be a burning FOOL!!! I will let you know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The pvc lids from General Wax fit a 3 1/8" square tumbler (the one they carry). They are 20 cents each if you buy 24 or more at a time. Measure across the top and see if you think they will fit and I can send you 1 to try if you'd like.
