Reconstituted candle

[breakinglight11]

I made— or reconstituted? —a candle tonight!

The large vanilla candle in the bulb jar had burned a hollow so far down into itself that the flame wasn’t able to get enough oxygen and kept going out. So I cut off the top half of the candle to give it some airflow to help it burn better.



Then I chopped up the cut-off piece and put them in a mason jar. Heating the oven to 350, I put the jar inside for about fifteen minutes to melt it. I stuck a new wick in once it was out, and put it in the freezer to set back up again.





Now I have another candle, and the original one burns better! The experiment was a success!
