As somebody who’s new to candle making, thank you

very helpful, thank you

If the glass is heat resistant, it should be safe?

[@ajiawilliams3168]

Also, have you tried using tritian for candles?

[@holisticjourneywellness]

Yes, if the glass is heat resistant it should be safe. Remember to stay away from THIN glass though, and be sure that it is a large enough vessel for making a candle in.

i would put starburst in geometric wood but that's not stealthy for calories

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

Not only are ceramic mugs heat resistant enough to hold hot coffee or tea, when glazed they were fired at somewhere over 1,000°, depending on the type of glaze. High-fire glazes such as those used on stoneware and porcelain are fired somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,305° to 2,530°. I don't think there's a chance of a candle getting a glazed vessel hot enough to melt the glaze. 🙂

Hi! Question! I want to make an outdoor centerpiece using a citronella candle in a metal container and put that inside an unfinished porous ceramic piece. Maybe put rocks inside the ceramic piece to stable and raise metal candle tin. Is this a dangerous idea?

[@holisticjourneywellness]

I think that should be safe, as long as the flame isn't near the porous material! :)

[@rachel5784]

@@holisticjourneywellness thank you! I appreciate your advice!

I put a mini Yankee candle in a thick shot glass, it shattered while the candle was burning. 😣

[@holisticjourneywellness]

Yikes! The candle was probably too hot and the flame might have been too close to the glass.

[@FlorinGN]

I bought cheap candles, emptied them and made my own candles in the glass recipients. It is indeed a very thick glass.

Is it okay to paste some clothe outside the container?

[@holisticjourneywellness]

Glueing cloth or other material outside the container (as long as it's not near the top) is usually okay because the flange can't reach it!

Using this guide is it safe to use thrift store pieces as candle vessels?

[@holisticjourneywellness]

I would say yes IF they say dishwasher safe, if the glass is reasonably thick, and just following some of the other guidelines I mentioned. Always proceed with caution when buying from a thrift store for candle containers because you might not be able to tell the material.

Can we use container made of resin?
