Not thick at all. The aim is to have a scented candle in a tin.MKG wrote:I may be being thick, but isn't a candle in a tin a bit counter-productive? After it burns down a bit, you wouldn't be able to see the flame.

Actually the best glasses to make candles in are the 4 for 99p out of asda.
Ok I'll tell you how I used to test the glassware I was to use but DO NOT COPY ME
I would get A glass and make the candle so it was half full light the wick. I would then lay the glass over to one side at about 45 Deg so that the flame will hit the glass. Cover this with a dustbin or large metal container and leave it alone outside.
I would go back after say 12 hours and move the metal bin or container and see what was there. Sometimes the glass would be shattered and others not. That's how I found out that jam jars are no good....
As I say don't copy it in case the elf and safety gadgies get on the site.
