Gbhunter Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 After my palm candles are burned out there is still a bit of wax left over. I really hate to waste this wax. Do you guys re-melt the remainder and use it for making anothe candle or do you just throw it away? After a while these wax remains do add up. For me the largest portion of candles remains if the candle was a square mold. The round candles dont leave as much waste but 5-10 burnouts could be enough to make a brand new candle.

soy327 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Are you talking pillars? I use them for my own use, tarts, votives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other stuff, I save & use for chunks or melt down for layers in artsy layered candles. I make "recycled" candles for my own use and for gifting.

EricofAZ Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 All my left over wax from tests or pillars, etc, goes into a bin and once a month or so I make firestarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 You can break the leftover wax into chunks to use in a tart melter or you can put the pillar in a jar and put it on a candle warmer. Thats what I do to use up the scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
