Paul Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Well … I think I have become an official candle addict. I started making them for client gifts and now I seem to be pouring testers all of the time trying to find the right scents. Thanks to the board for all of the posts that have helped me get off to a great start. My question is – what do you do with those testers that you just cannot bear or will not work? Do you just throw the wax away or is there a better use? I just hate to send any more than I need to the landfill.

rjdaines Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've removed wax from containers and kept the glass and dumped the wax. Or save them for summer and burn them outside where the scent will be diluted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) I remelt them a try another wick or pour them in separate layers in a new container & give them to family. Edited February 11, 2012 by ladysj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If nothing else, I have a "can" of stuff to use for firestarters. Never waste any wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was gonna say .. FIRESTARTERS ! Absolutely use it for making firestarters. Wax and FO are too dang expensive to just chunk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 If nothing else, I have a "can" of stuff to use for firestarters. Never waste any wax! Perfect! Thanks ksranch.I do save and reuse all of my glass, but I hate to throw out $1.50 lb wax. I don't even think I sound cheap when I say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
