I got my hurricane vases from acmoore and they sit straight but when I put the pillar candle in they dont sit straight!!!!! I dont know if there is something I could do with the candle to make it sit straight but I am also adding the glass marbles to it as well and maybe those will make it sit right!! I am sooo upset right now.
Can anyone help??
TIA

Ok so I played with that stuff it works!! It's called candle-stik - candle adhesive. It was like $1 - $2 in AC Moore. I think it may not be a bad idea to throw a lil piece under each candle just to reinforce them!! Anyway it isn't working with mine b/c if you look in the photo I posted my hurricane doesn't have a flat bottom!! It gets smaller on the bottom so my candle doesn't rest on a flat surface it kinds rest on the sides of the smaller part of the vase!! Any suggestions on how I can get mine to stay??? The candle fits perfect in the whole but it keeps tipping over!! HELP!!! I don't want to have to return 25 vases!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!! They told me to hot glue the candle in. The sides of the hurricane that the candle rests on are kinda small so hopefully it works!! I am gonna try it tonight!!
