International Concrete Candle Jar Resources
WELCOME
I carefully examined thousands of comments, posts, & group chats from various sources to collect information about the products people use in different countries. After a painstakingly long time, I was able to put together a detailed list of the most commonly mentioned & used products from around the world to help you on your journey. Please keep in mind that if your country is not listed, it means there wasn’t sufficient data to make a confident recommendation about the best course of action.
Disclaimer:
The majority of the products mentioned in this list have not been tested by me or anyone else at UP Vibe outside of the United States. This list includes products commonly used in their respective countries. We strongly advise you to conduct thorough testing of any products you choose to use. We are not responsible for any issues or complications that may occur.
