Anyone ever reuse candlewax to make new candles?

If so, what did you use for wicks?

1. You can buy pre-tabbed wicks for cheap online.

Stick 'em down with the little stickers they provide. Check ebay and search in the Candlemaking section :)

3. Thank you

I thought it would be something I had to buy. I've tried several different things as wicks and havent had much luck. Last time I did this I bought a 6-pack of cheap long candles and melted them down then used the wicks from them. That worked well.

I was hoping for an easier way hehe

5. Some craft stores sell 'em...

why pay shipping for something you can stuff in a pocket?

6. I am kind of coming to that

There are no "craft stores" around here. Either I have to make em or buy them. I just like playing with the stove and recycling stuff so I probably will make them.

I'll have to go buy borax though. I wonder what it does really.
