2oz Tobacco Tin Tallow Candle
This is an item made by us.
- You will find some disturbance on the surface of the tallow as the wicks will need to be exposed and trimmed.
- We are trying to be honest and open about the contents and you should remember that items will vary slightly due to being handmade.
The tallow candle is not simply a candle but a survival tool.
This is not a bog standard candle; it is a handmade made from pure tallow.
This Tallow candle can be used for numerous things not only as source of light to see by, or heat, in a survival situation they can be eaten (I cannot confirm how safe this tallow is to eat).
- Some of the benefits it brings are:
- Long-lasting use.
- Can be used with all 5 wicks to heat water/food.
- Used as an aid to fire lighting in holding the flame from a match to save using another.
- Contained in an air-tight container.
- Repels water.
- Take traveling, fishing, camping, or to festivals.
- Once the tallow has been used up the tin can be re-used.
The tin lid has several uses such as:
- Signalling mirror.
- A reflector to direct the candlelight.
- A handy windbreak for the candle.
- A candle snuff that eliminates the smoke from a blown-out candle.
Tallow has numerous uses such as:
- Waterproofing materials such as leather.
- As a balm.
- For making a fire lighter.
- Sharpening by smearing onto a flat surface and sprinkling with sand.
- Or used with a strickle (easily made square peg of wood smeared with tallow and sprinkled with sand) as was used in agriculture for sharpening in the fields.
- Pan-frying foods.
- Eaten in extreme survival situations (I cannot be sure that this tallow is safe to eat).
Specifications: (Approximate Measurements)
It has 5 candle wicks to expand its uses so that it can be used for longer.
- The Candle Weighs approx. 198g net
- Its approximate measurements are: 110mm x 80mm 25mm
These candles are cast and not dipped and use wicks and retainers similar to a tea light. Tallow has a low melting point so this should be borne in mind in hot weather or when transporting.
