lsbennis Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I looked for the Mainstay jars at my Walmart and they didnt have them, plus I couldn't find them on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllyM Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I couldn't find either but I did find a board that said they wouldn't buy Walmart's brand or Better HOme and Gardens brands there because one actually shattered and lids were a nightmare. Mostly canning folks on the board but all agreed stick with Made in USA Ball jars. I get all my jars from Fillmore. Love that company and great customer service. For me I think I'll stick with Fillmore and Made in USA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ive made hundreds of candles over the past few years with Mainstay jars and to date, never had one crack or shatter. I did however, have a Ball jj's bottom seperate fronm the jar when I was melting it down in a pot of boiling water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I have never had a problem with mainstays either....and I also would prefer to buy in the U.S. BUT if they won't offer it or be willing to make what a lot of people are looking for I will go overseasI could not find these jars at my Walmart either or online... Could you post what Walmart you got them from So I can call and find out the scoop on where to get them?Still no answers on the 4 ounce square....waiting Edited March 28, 2013 by moonshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Even some of the suppliers' jars are from China. The ones I had been using from TCMS come in a case saying "Made in China" on the bottom. I'm not promoting China made stuff, and would prefer made in USA, but do have to say I've put these jars through so much testing for almost 3 years and they've held up like champs.

FaithfulScenter Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I couldn't find them online either, but I haven't had the chance to make it to the store. I know a couple of weeks ago I had to buy some jars for a church project and I didn't see them then, but I wasn't looking for them either. I really hope one of my Walmarts has them!!

moonshine Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks Chandler and I looked on the bottom of my 8 ounce square masons from CS and it says Made in TawainI spoke today with jarden and they are not able to manufacture the squares that say mason and after her research (on the phone for 45minutes) she doesn't know who or where these came from either- has to be oversees somewhere But I have a couple emails and phone calls into glass manufacturers to see what can be done if anything here in the states and still waiting on china to respond about the specs on the 4 ounceJarden on another note said the blue masons will run another production in July and then when they are gone they will be forever gone and amber- green and purple are coming in the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I was just in my Walmart(south Jersey) and found a case of them. Of course I had to snag it lolI usually buy the Mainstay pint jars from there so they will go nicely with those.They are cute. I use 6006 wax and as soon as I get a chance I'll start testing on what size wicks to use. Normally I use zinc with this wax but thinking a 51 but have a feeling that may be a bit too big so maybe a 44-32 or a 44-28 which a have a few of. Maybe even an eco 2.......hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnj Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I tested out 2 of them using a 1oz sample of Sugar Corn Pudding (AH/RE) .......6006 wax51 zinc and eco 2. so far they are both burned about half way down and I think I'm liking the eco better. The zinc burning a bit too high and having to trim more than I like.sorry I can't post pics....don't have a dig camera and my phone is poooThey do go great with the pint masons that I usually get from Wally World which I always have good results using a 60 zincGreat pics Pita!
