    Question Question on Mason Jar Oil Lamps

    What type of lid can be used on the jar? Can it be plastic (like on a mayo jar) or can I use the 2 piece canning top? Do I have to glue the 2 pieces together?

    Can the lid be painted? Do you have to pre-treat it with a solution so the paint sticks?

    TIA

    The two piece or metal lids work best, you do not have to glue the together..... The plastic lids can be used if you put a washer
    (plummers washers) between the glass wick holder and the lid...
    I've even used cork lids for those big heavy jars...... I just paint with gold paint and it sticks well to the metal lids put you might want to use primmer....
