Candles. Does anyone make candles? I have got a fair bit of wax from church candles and wish to make a new candle. I need a wick. I can buy a hundred from eBay for a quid or two, but I only want one or two! Does anyone make candles who could let me have a couple of wicks? I suppose I need decent thickness wicks (like a church candle) about15 -20 cm long (6-8 inches). I will happily pay postage and something for the wicks. I just don't need a hundred. David
David, why not make your own. melt some wax, cut cotton string to the lengths you require stir in the melted wax till absorbed, take off the heat lay the waxy string in a straight line till cold. hey presto! a wick. Hope this helps.
Does that work? Is it just string?
