I just discovered a new tool that will change the way I use my aging candles. In the past, I have unceremoniously reheated my old and ugly candles, so that I could repour the melted wax into molds and keep my candles looking pretty. Now, this task always took an afternoon, filled my house with melted wax smells, and inevitably, I would finish the day with at least one minor wax burn!
However, I've just discovered a new candle tool at Solutions catalog. It's called the CandleWand, it is virtually a heated knife. You can use this tool to slice through the top, half-melted ugly portion of your existing pillars and a new level burning surface. How cool is that? And for approximately $25, you will recoup your candle costs within a couple of months --- and no 3rd degree burns!
