Scented Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Perhaps there's a reason they have the best burn ... If they underwicked the lid, maybe there's a chance, but I still wouldn't chance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) It's not on the inside of the jar. I think it's a cool ideal, thought about it myself. I just don't like the look of the plastic around the lid. Another company puts a couple of cardboard scents in their lids.Their prices are low, are they made in China? Cause we can't get out supplies cheap enough to sell at those prices. Edited May 21, 2010 by Sharon in KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adirondack Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would be very leary Enlarge the MacIntosh Jar to the biggest you can get it on the siteThe sloppy work- wax all over the inside lip of the jar, all over the plastic on the lid?I can see they are not very careful!

*Dee* Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 yeah thats where i seen it at. then i googled the company they are not far from me in findley newyork. I just cant believe they would even try that, and then i cant believe people would think its ok to burn it. plastic with flames generally makes me think of fires.

chuck_35550 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 They problably use a different wax for the lid. It would be more like a votive or pillar and tunnel without getting a full melt pool to the plastic. I don't think $9.00 for that candle is really cheap. Wal-Mart sells large apothecaries for $5.00. The proof would be in the burning of it. I looked up their retailers and they have several chain stores in our area. Just another dollar store candle that stinks or doesn't stink.

Toni S. Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 My guess is the company gives instructions to "remove" the plastic before lighting the candle? What ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane42 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yup, that is one of the reasons we went with the apothecary jar - we thought it would be great if we could fill the top also - kind of different from other candles we had seen.Of course, when it got right down to it, we decided it wasn't safe to do that. Even if we put a warning to take the plastic off, we KNOW that most people don't read the warnings! Heck, we didn't even read the warnings before we started making candles!!
