Can I re-melt and repour?

[ragnarock47]

I am thinking I know the answer to this, but here goes my question... and please remember, I may be stoopid, I don't look stoopid

I want to go up a wick size, is it possible to warm the containers up to liquify the wax without messing up the FO then repour?

ragnarock47, i have seen several post about putting the candles in the oven to soften, and then remelting and repouring..yes it is confusing to me too:D but as much as i read on here i should be an expert..maybe oneday...

I am pretty new to all this also but have actually re melted and repoured and it worked alright for me

Yes, you can. Use a low temp. It'll take awhile.

If your doing this just to test a different wick size, you'd be better off just yanking the wick out and putting a new one in the resulting hole.

Some will add a little more FO after remelting, to compensate for the little bit that might dissipate. But it is really up to you.

Cheers,

Now a days people put their entire candle on those metal warmer plates and the whole thing is supposed to melt- Then after use it hardens and the whole process is redone again and again until the scent is gone. I doubt one gentle warming would affect anything. The warm oven idea sounds good to me.

Very cool, thanks for the replies. I made 3 candles yesterday with a larger wick than I have been using. We'll let them sit and then test burn them and see how they throw. If all goes well, I'll rewick the ones who don't hot throw.
