We burn candles fairly regularly. Most are scented and most are purchased already made. While I have done quite a bit of candle making over the years, these days I'm more about recycling wax as efficiently as possible.
I buy cheap grocery store single wick scented candles, especially if they're on sale. Then I'll get 3 wick jar candles from Tar'Get and burn them 1 wick at a time. All of this leads to candle containers with residual wax.
What I usually do is wait till I have an occasion to use the gas range to melt the wax while something is being cooked. I'll take one of the glass single wick containers and put a tea light candle in on the bottom then our in enough melted wax to leave a quarter inch wick. Let it cool, then use as usual.
Why? Because I'm a seriously cheap bastard!
