Won’t the flame from the votive candle melt the luminary since it’s made of wax?
No. As long as the votive candle or oil cartridge is placed directly in the center, it won’t melt the sides of the luminary. If you decide to use a votive candle, pour a small amount of water into the luminary until it is about ¼ of an inch high. This water will capture and harden any wax that spills or drips from the votive candle. This will also prevent any melted wax from sticking to the bottom of the luminary. An oil cartridge/fuel cell can also be used inside the luminary without the need for pouring water into the bottom of the luminary. However, be sure that the oil cartridge is placed in the center of the luminary.
