Abstract: A sealed metal container adapted for use with candles. The container is coated with a layer of sealing compound so that the side and bottom seams of the container do not leak flowable material. The container includes a stamp formed base which is characterized by having an internally upwardly directed dome upon which a candle wick carrying element may be securely located on an apex region of the dome. The sealing compound contains a mixture of synthetic wax with sufficient adhesive so that the compound bonds to the surface of the container. Appropriate ratios of synthetic wax and adhesive material are mixed together so that the sealing compound has sufficient flexibility. A method for forming a sealed metal container is also provided in which the sealing compound is melted, pressurized, and sprayed through a nozzle toward the interior surface of the container. The container may be preheated and rotated during spraying to ensure complete coverage.
