Use a Hairdryer to Fix a Candle That Won’t Light
If you have a candle with a buried wick, there is no need to dig. This simple trick will help you light the candle in no time.
In this video fromYouTube’s ehowhome , candle maker Jeffrey Schumacher demonstrates a clever method for finding the wick in a frozen candle. Get a heat gun or hair dryer – Schumacher uses a heat gun – and heat the top layer of the candle, then pour the melted wax into a trash can, paper towel, or other container if you want to save it for something . This method ensures that the candle wax is evenly liquefied over the top surface and helps to avoid clutter.
