clay pot candles

22 years ago

I am painting claypots and want to put candles inside. Does anyone know if the pots have to be sealed inside and out with anything? If so what would I seal them with? THANKS

It's up to you if you want to seal them, unless you are using them outside. Then they should probably be sealed to protect the paint.
