cactusladycandles Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi, I'm new to this post. But have gotten lots of ideas and problem solving tips over the last month. I pour ig 4630 wax in jars. But I have some Christmas theme tins I'd like to pour into. They have seams on the sides and bottom. Do I have to glue the seams before filling with wax. Also, if I remove the glue after they cool, will the seams leak when the candle is burning.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I've gotten some really nice tins but they also have seams. I would definately put something on the seams. Someone suggested decoupoge/modpodge and that's what I've done.I apply the decoupoge to all the seams, let it dry and then pour over it.I have burnt candles in these tins without applying anything and low-n-behold, they leaked.HTH:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
