TwinMom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I found some rustic looking buckets perfect for outside candles but was wondering if anyone has any ideas what to line the inside edges with to prevent leaking? Some sort of glue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Could you post a pic? Or could you put a small jar inside for the candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMom Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Could you post a pic? Or could you put a small jar inside for the candle?Good idea with small jar inside. It looks like a corona bucket but the bottom looks like it could leak so wondering what to put on the inside along the bottom edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Some of those types of containers do leak. I don't know of any glue that I would trust to seal them for candlemaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psfponies Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If your going to use glue you better make sure you get one that has a high melt temp. the glue may end up melting when your melt pool gets down to the bottom.I think going with glass containers sounds like your best bet.Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I've always used Outdoor Mod Podge to seal bucket seams & terra cotta containers. I've never had a leak & even w/ a huge wick the glue doesn't come loose or pose any risk of fire. There are lots of posts here that you may want to search.HTH - Susan.

Maggie Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Same here.....modge podge. I "paint" the inside a couple of times.I've made citronella buckets with huge wicks that we use around our pool area and have never had a problem with leaking wax.
