Sterno? For those of you who purchased this, would a sterno canned heat fit where the candle is?

I don't have one (yet) but I doubt it. There might be a little ridge for the tea light to sit in, but even if it's just flat on the bottom, the sterno is probably too tall and would get soot on the bottom of your teapot from the flame being too high.

Yes! Thats the great part about sterno. You can light and re-light it until all the gel is gone. Just make sure you put the lid back on lightly.

I have not been able to find a "sterno" container small enough to fit. Instead, I found an inexpensive stainless measuring cup set and removed the handle from the 2/3 cup size which then fit right in the cavity. When being used, I scoop a couple of tablespoons of the gel from a larger Stern container. Not ideal, but it works.

Personally, I only burned the candle down a minimal amount to look more authentic any.more &.it could damage the metal innards..as for " replacing " it if I understand your question..I don't think so, I also have the " Dictionary safe " & " hair spray cans ( SO COOL )..and gave as gifts...In our bedroom is the candle w/ $$ & jewelry..we then have 2 other candles mixed into a " display " w. " real " ones that hold keys etc..the nice thing is , they are great for their purpose & appearance & not too expensive to have several ( any of the " hidden items "...hope this helped..

You can use a 1/2" wick, it will still work, just a slightly smaller flame and a few less candlepower.

based on my experience I highly doubt you can light these with a portable sterno can. I had to leave the cubes on direct flames from BBQ for a few minutes before they were ready.

Its pretty rigid but if you used a strong lubricant like shortening I am sure they would come out but you candle would look like a fudgesicke with some indents on the sides which could be considered decorative I guess. So yes. If you used a spray cooking oil I would be concerned about the hot wax disolving the oil which would mean you would have to put the mold in some boiling or very hot water to loosen them. Good Luck sounds like it could be a nice project.

Works best to melt over even heat (stove) then use sterno. However, sterno will suffice, just keep stirring!

No it won't fit a floating candle. It's maybe 1.5" diameter. It's like a tall bud vase.

Yes you can. They aren't huge openings, but I have shells in mine, and they could fit a candle. Each has a different size opening. From the picture you see, from left to right. The openings are; about 3 3/8, 3 3/8, 4 3/16.

I don't think so. I tried placing a small battery candle (the ones for party centerpieces) and it wouldn't fit through the mouth of the jar and its a little shorter that that battery candles. Sorry, u may need a larger jar :(

I use the other GiGi waxes with a little warmer made for candles. It is just a warming base and it fits the bottom of the tin jar perfectly. They have them at walmart. It looks like a little warming disk for coffee mugs. I've seen them sold for office/desk use. Going to get the warmer this week only b/c I want it all contained and it will probably heat up much faster. Only used it this way b/c I wasn't sure I would want to continue after my first time. Bought it, got it home and realized I needed a good way to keep it warm while working with it. If you have a walmart, go try one, it sells for less than 5.00.

I'd like to know what warmer you bought that had a short cord! That's actually what I want because it will be on my counter (using it to warm a jarred candle because they last tons longer and don't burn down) and I'd rather NOT have a 6' cord to try to conceal.

You can try a tea light, but I don't know how much heat it will give off. I just spoon sterno gel into it and it works fine.

Thanks for the reply. Does it come with the can inside of the warmer. I'm new to wax Warner's so I'm assuming inside it has the one removable can.

The Sterno is not included. It's a smaller sized fuel/sterno, I picked up a couple of packs from bed bath and beyond.

My experience is limited in candle making but I believe it would be too big.
