Thanks so much for the pointer!! Like I said, I've been doing the same; haven't had any problems so far! I'll give the dish soap a try! Certainly less expensive than looking for new ones!

I realize what you're saying....problem is, there are only 2 stores that carry any candle making supplies that I'm aware of (where I live)! Not to mention, most of the jars I've seen are very thin and not appropriate for using my "candle shade". After working all week, I find this to be relaxing and fun. Actually, until I started reading these posts, I didn't realize that re-using jars could potentially be dangerous!! :undecided

I do this too and it usually works, although I have had a few that simply refuse to come off. Goo Gone is an awesome product to try as well. It takes off almost anything.

I'll try the Goo Gone!! Thanks for your help!

Thanks so much, Tess!

I should have stated that, I guess. I only recycle for personal use!

Hello...I'm really new at this and hope you can help! I have been recycling wax from old candles and making new ones. My problem is, that I'm trying to use a 20 oz. jar but I am unable to remove the original wick tab. It is really glued to the bottom of the jar. I boiled it to remove the old wax, but that didn't do the trick for removing the old wick tab! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
