THE PROCESS

Quick, Hands‑On Repour

The repour session is engineered for speed and clarity: the in‑studio process takes about 45–60 minutes, with staff using fresh wax measured by weight; a $15 deposit secures your seat and is applied toward the wax.

THE LOGISTICS

Book Ahead — Seats Are Limited

Urban Glow offers a limited number of repour seats each day; each reservation covers one vessel per workstation, and if you plan to refill multiple containers you must book additional seats.

THE VESSEL

Bring the Right Container

Not every jar will work: bring a clean, dry, candle‑safe vessel — originally designed candle containers or thick heat‑safe glass or ceramic are recommended — with all wax, wick tabs, labels, and residue removed before your session.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

You arrive at Urban Glow, check in for your reserved repour seat, and place a prepared vessel at a workstation; over the next 45–60 minutes staff measure and pour wax while you observe or assist, then let the candle set — after about two hours of cooling the candle is ready for pickup or you can explore nearby shops and eateries while it sets.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits best — and how booking constraints shape the experience.

1
DIY Candle‑makersPerfect for people who want a hands‑on refill without full candle‑making classes; plan to reserve a seat and bring a properly prepped vessel.
2
Couples & FriendsA compact, social 45–60 minute activity — groups should book early since there are a limited number of seats and each reservation covers one vessel per workstation.
3
Small Groups or Multiple‑Vessel ProjectsManageable if you book multiple seats: each repour reservation includes one vessel per workstation, so additional vessels require additional bookings.
4
Last‑Minute ShoppersNot ideal unless you can secure an open seat the same day: Urban Glow limits repour seats daily and recommends booking ahead.
