Got to keep a close eye on it because the melting time varies with each candle. This oven melting method works well for those candles that burn the wick and center faster than the outside edges. I replace the old wick with a new one and let the wax melt around it. The scent of scented candles can linger in the oven so you'll want to wait awhile before using your oven for baking.Jane’s Journey from Kenyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036771446292244392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842347942296006125.post-44654317777819547122013-10-21T01:22:16.363-04:002013-10-21T01:22:16.363-04:00I will have to give that a try, Shelley!

You can also use this tip to get the melted wax out of your candle holders once your candles are all burned up. Save the wax to make a candle.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426453547097956816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842347942296006125.post-28200570908852741982013-10-19T04:34:22.975-04:002013-10-19T04:34:22.975-04:00Thanks, Charity, great idea!
