Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Janet, I bought one of your lemon blossom/ginseng candles off of another list member (Debbie McDuffee) to try it out. I fell so in love with the sent, and was very depressed when the wick ended. I mentioned to her that I wished I could use the wax for something else. It actually feels nice on the skin, but she had a better idea! Remove the wick and the metal piece and put the rest of the wax in a tart burner. It works beautifully and seems to release the scent even better since all the wax is melted at the same time. I have purchased a dozen candles and will continue to " recycle " them this way. You should market them as tarts too!
