I have a passing interest in candles, so followed the debate. I make my
own occasionally from left over wax of commercial candles. The likes of
Ikea sell church candles with a too-small wick, so they burn and leave
wide walls of wax which have to be cut off periodically. So rather than
wasting the wax I make new ones, moulding them with kitchen foil
cardboard inners with a piece of string fixed between both ends. Works
well, provided the hot wax doesn't melt the selotape holding the ends in
and leak.
