Sealed metal container

摘要

A sealed metal container adapted for use with candles. The container is coated with a layer of sealing compound (14) so that the side and bottom seams (34, 38) of the container do not leak flowable material. The sealing (14) 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. <IMAGE>
