Can I use this item and still able to fill the vase with water for a floating candle ?

When surrounded by water, the beads are not noticeable. They "disappear" in the water. There is no reason why you couldn't put flowers or a floating candle or anything else in the water. If you have too many water beads, they will be slightly visible at the top. They feel like jello in that if you squeeze them they "mush" the way jello would, yet they feel fairly firm to the touch. Careful, for a vase, you probably only need a quarter of a teaspoon of the crystals :-)

You would need to use something to release the candles. It works very well for everything I have use it for.

It won't float. I would use the squash tape to stick the air pipe to the bottom of the glass first and then put the gravels. Just a good practice you should put the gravel at the very end after you are done setting up all the other decoration items. Good luck!

Yes: the candle heats the water and creates steam. We like this chafer because of that. I find the direct heat just dries food out.

I've never filled it with water, but its def made of swimming pool material....don't see why you couldn't....have fun!

That's up to you, it certainly can. I just screwed mine very tight and I have had NO problem with anything leaking. If you needed to, you could always attach it with a little silicone to be a perfect seal, but I think that's overkill. I LOVE MINE!!!! It works great and is so low profile I keep a candle holder over it when not in use and no one even knows it is there until I need it!

If you fill it so there is no air in it, then it can't be a problem. Liquid water doesn't expand enough to be an issue.

Yes you can, I didn't put them in vases or anything but I found that these things can get pretty big. Like really big. But everything should still be fine to leave them in water.

You could, as it will hold water, but i am not sure where it was made as it was given as a gift. (Just because China isnt "supposed" to paint children's toys with lead doesn't mean they don't.)

Personally, I would not use this is a lake or open body of water. I use it only on the deck with water in it. I have not ever used it as a floating tub, and I really wouldn't recommend it. That is my personal opinion.

No, I would not put a flame candle in these... we hung small led lights with fishing wire in them and it worked great.

I don't think so because the mold is very thin and deep and not flexible. It's hard plastic so it would probably be hard to get the wax out. I have to admit I'm wildly curious as to why you'd want a candle in the shape of a popsicle! But I think I would look for something made of silicone so you'd have some flexibility to it to get the wax out after out was hard.

Yes...It would work fine. I use my warmer for candles only...They are each made of glass.

In my experience, they did NOT float but that could be because I placed enough (lots!) in my wedding vases to hold up the flowers in the center pieces. I also used waterproof LED lights in these vases.

Yes you can. You will have to anchor the cord somewhere above the float ball to determine the height that you want to fill to. Dennis.

Not really. Think of it as two pieces of shiny thin cardboard with foam in between. If you put flames on it, it will burn. If it gets a little liquid splashed on it, it might be okay. If it is put under water, it will most likely become soggy and possibly break apart.

Yes. Strip the flowers off the stem parts that will be under water if you like for a sleek look. But you can even just submerge the bottom blooms in water and let the top 6" show above the vase. If the vase is clear glass and very wide, this is a great option. These blooms lasted for about 8 weeks!
