salvaging old candle wax


Recommended Posts

I melted the unburned wax from several candles and poured a new candle. When it burned, it did not burn evenly, but burned way down in the middle, leaving most of it ulnburned. Anyone have any tips?

Same candles? Or different FO's, etc.?

Underwicked would be my guess. I have remelted and blended many candle ends and remains, even container and pillar wax together. Never had a problem, although I have experienced the tunnelling occasionally but only because my candle was underwicked.

The thing is that with a blend such as this you have no way of knowing what the correct wicking will be. Because it will be different every time.

Still is fun to do, hope you didnt end up with a grey candle, which I have done as well. Not all colors blend well...hehe
