Oil Candle Shells

Beautiful Nylon shells are hand-crafted to duplicate a high quality, traditional wax candle.
These shells come in 4 diameters: 1-7/8″, 2″, 2-5/8″ or 3-1/2″.
They use either an empty, refillable oil can (#REF) – where you fill the oil yourself – or –
pre-filled disposable containers available in clear or metal. The last picture shows the correct height of the wick when using disposable containers.

Sockets and Followers are manufactured from SOLID brass and are not spinnings or soldered.
They are available at the same price in either high polish or satin brass finishes.
Please note: followers and sockets are sold separately.

1-7/8″ Shell comes with brass ring or “donut” on top of the shell that conceals the oil canister.
2-5/8″ and 3-1/2″ come with ring or “donut” that is the color of the nylon shell and also conceals the canister.
All shells include top rings and adapters for 1/4 and 5/16 threaded shafts.
1/2-13 is standard thread size for all oil candles.
Other size lengths are available, email for pricing.

*Free shipping on all candle shells in continental U.S.

Cleaning the exterior of your solid nylon shell.
The exterior nylon surface of your candle shell is easily cleaned. It may be washed with soap and water (not the brass). Other effective cleaners for the nylon are denatured alcohol and store brand cleaners such as Fantastic or 409. Please remove the brass follower before cleaning the nylon candle.

Cleaning the brass follower and socket.
Our polished brass followers and sockets are protected with a clear lacquer coating. Without this coating, the brass will tarnish. You can greatly extend the life of your lacquered brass appointments with a little maintenance. Much like the clear coat on an automobile, using wax will protect the lacquer. Use only a clear wax or neutral shoe polish. Every few months, rub a little wax on your brass, and using a soft cloth, buff it to a nice shine. Please do not touch or clean the brass follower until it has fully cooled.
