Merry Part, Blessed be and namaste......

Your best chance would just be to put it in the freezer for a bit...they come out every time!!!

you can also speed up the cooling process in the freezer...but be careful...if it cools too quickly, the well won't develop properly...leaving cavities from air pockets. But as previously mentioned....a topped off candle still stuck will release with some time in the freezer.

I would definately like to be kept informed of the recall on that candle...the concept is appealing. I wonder if a 1/2 inch brass or copper chute below the flame would help any?

Use a zinc core wick for your votives and jar candles...they won't smoke or burn as hot as a braided wick. If money is tight, get some sand and one votive mold or something of similar size...wet the sand to a stiff consistency...not too watery or dry.... place wicks and pour wax...use a wire with a central hoop to keep the wick centered...good luck and have fun!!!!!
