Do candles met aluminum cans?

I'm wanting to use a soda can and turn it into a candle holder thingy, will the candle melt it?

Answer:

It's possible, because candle flames can reach up to 1300 degrees fahrenheit, and aluminum melts at about 1200 degrees fahrenheitBut the flame won't touch the can, so I doubt that it will melt or catch on fireI mean, people put candles in paper bags for luminaries all the time with little incidentJust be very careful, and I think you'll be fineMaybe put some sand in the bottom of the can to hold the candle, if you're worried.
dude, just buy you a fking guitar already!
