So far, I love the look and size. However, I was wondering if they get hot being so small?

Great size tin for sampling or testing. Noticed a little discoloration around the wall of the tin.. but not in the 8oz tin. Will continue to test and see what works best.

I like them but I noticed that inside wall discolored. Not sure if there’s a way to prevent. I just decided not to add them to my candle collection. I may try mini tumblers.

I love these. I sell these in packs of 3. I use the cd 8 or cd6 or eco 4 depending on the fragrance. I did have a heavy vanilla load at 10% in 464 and the bottom did rust or turn brown. As long as I stay under 8% with vanilla its ok. I've never gotten a complaint.

I love these candle tins. However, some of mine arrived with dents and/or scratches on them.

I secure the wicks using the pro wick stickers. I place each one carefully and press down firmly. Once I’ve poured the wax (135 degree pouring temperature), the wicks no longer stick and start moving! I put flowers in my candles so by the time the wick moves, it’s too late for me to save the wax! I can’t have flower petals anywhere near the wick if I were to pour the melted wax in another tin. I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but I’ve wasted too much money and supplies on these.

To all the friends I've seen asking about label sizing - I use a 2.5inch round label for all my tins. This size goes all the way to the edge of the 4oz tins and goes to the edge of the raised portion on 6oz tins. If you want a label that fits to the edge of the raised portion of the 4oz tin, I'd recommend a 2inch round label 😁 if you are making labels for the sides, check out the dimensions listed and that should tell you the height so you can plan accordingly. Happy chandeling!

Side note: I use only CS tins even though they are more expensive just for the raised feet feature! My customers appreciate it. I've had requests for 16oz candles, but I can't find any with the raised feet. Please consider adding 16oz tins to the collection 😁

I love these tins, no problems in rust or discoloring and I’ve used fragrance oils & essential oils.
I just ordered the 6 oz size

Hello,

The tin can gets really hot. I picked it up to move it, while burning, and it was so hot to the touch that I dropped it (natural reaction) immediately. I almost burned myself. I was shocked. I used the instructions to the exact measurements. I will continue to use Candle Science because I trust the quality, like the product selection and love the educational series you share to ensure users produce quality products. I truly believe its sooo hot because it is TIN after all but wanted to share my experience as a first time candle maker and so that you know. But wow, was I shocked to pick up the tin can.

Sincerely,
Still a happy customer

I have been testing wick sizes with the 4 oz tins using 464 soy wax. The Eco 8 seemed to be a bit too small, and I'm not a huge fan of the "eco" in general. The CD 12 was too big, but not ALL that big, surprisingly. I finally bought the CD 8, as recommended. I has the candle lit for 2 hours, and still no full melting pool- what a bummer, I ordered a bunch of them.

Any suggestions from candlescience or others- anyone using 464 and these tins that have a magic wick size!?
