Can I push the unused candle wax down into the candle and use that wax?
-
I have this candle and it burned straight down, leaving a circle only half the size of the candle being used. So what do I do with the leftover wax? Can I break up the unused wax and push it into the hole and relight the candle? Or, I don't know? What do i do?

Answer:
The wick on the candle will be too short if you do that., is the candle in a jar? If it is you can put the jar in a pan of water, be sure to put a wash cloth in the bottom of the pan so the jar won't crack, then set the jar in and set burner on med heat and melt the candle down, when the wax is melted remove the old wick and pour out part of the candle into another glass or jar and put back in the hot water and turn down heat, put the new wick in the candle jar, I usually wrap the top of the wick around a pencil and lay the pencil across the top of the jar to stabilize the wick and keep it centered, when the wax that is in the jar sets up, pour remaining wax over the top, this will avoid having dips and uneven top on the candle....good luck

You could always get a candle warmer. It's a small round hot plate that you plug into the wall and set the candle holder on. They're about 5$ at Walgreens and other similar stores. If it's a candle that's not in a glass holder then you can melt the candle wax in a double boiler and put in an empty candle holder or something similar and then use the candle warmer. I suppose you could just break the wax up.. but I think if you drop it down the middle and try to relight it that the wick won't burn properly.

Just break up the old wax, then get a long skinny candle, put it into a jar or the same one, and stick the old wax around it. Or you can buy new wicks.
