How to Use

Press a wick sticker dot to the base of each tin, then press the metal wick tab firmly onto the sticker. Rest a wood centering stick across the tin rim and thread the wick through to keep it upright.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the tin dimensions and capacity?
Each tin is 5.2cm / 2.04in in diameter and 6.5cm / 2.55in tall. This holds approximately 4oz of wax per tin.

What wax works best in these tins?
Soy wax and coconut wax are popular choices for tin candles — both adhere well to metal, burn cleanly, and hold fragrance well. Paraffin and beeswax also work. A coconut-soy blend is a great option for a smooth, creamy finish with excellent scent throw.

How much fragrance oil should I add?
A typical fragrance load is 6–10% of the wax weight for soy or coconut wax. For example, if you pour 100g of wax, add 6–10g of fragrance oil. Add fragrance at around 185°F / 85°C and stir well before pouring.

Is this a good beginner kit?
Yes — the kit includes all the hardware needed to get started (jars, wicks, wick holders, and wick stickers). You just need wax and fragrance oil to complete your first pour.

Can I reuse the tins after the candle burns down?
Yes — once the candle is finished, remove residual wax by placing the tin briefly in a warm oven or pouring boiling water over the wax to loosen it. Clean with warm soapy water, then repour or repurpose for storage.
