ah-soy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I ordered some sample lids (square / black / metal) to try with the Libbey square votive jars. They are the correct size and look great BUT they have no fitments to keep them snug on the jar . I have visions of dropped candles galore when people try to pick them up to sniff.Can anyone suggest an idea of a way to fake a fitment...some kind of silicone or crafty goo or whatever??? I temporarily rigged one by layering electrical tape inside the lip of the lid. It works, but sure looks funky and can't be sold that way.Help from any crafty genious' out there?

candlesprite7 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think a layer of silicone would work...like caulking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillgunter Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Maybe go to the hardware store and look for a roll of thin silicone or something. Cant think what I am trying to say here. And then maybe glue it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEP Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 How about those really thin pieces of cork? I've seen them with adhesive on the back, where you just pull off the paper and apply it to whatever. You could cut it in thin strips that would fit up inside the lid, and stick it down.

dabbledoya Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 How about using a couple of glue dots maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Not sure if you can make your own, but I wouldnt use them without. I went to a craft show once and saw the same type of metal lids on top of apothecary jars, i went to pick it up by the handle and woops, the large 10oz candle shattered at me feet. The woman looked at me like she knew it was going to happen and refused to let me pay for the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
