Container Candles

I was just curious to know if there is a recommended time I should wait to test burn my container candles. I usually wait a day...should I wait longer? Or can I burn them as soon as they are cold to the touch?

Clay flower pots

I have several clay flower pots and I need to seal the hole in the bottom. Does anyone know what type of product I should use? I also want to paint them (inside and out) can I use any acrylic paint or does it have to be a candle paint?

Thanks,
