Using Harry Slatkin glass jars

Mmsis — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 20:57:29 GMT

I have a number of Harry Slatkin 3 and 4 wick candles and several are in beautiful glass faceted jars. Anybody have a tip on how to get the candle out of a glass container so I can use it?

For how long? Once it's frozen does it just slide out?

I use paper towels and a spoon to get most of the wax out. And to get the metal wick thing out I also use the spoon. And then use Blue Dawn and lots of really hot water. I don’t like to put a lot of the wax down the drain. And for the label I use a scrub daddy.

i leave it in the freezer until the wax is frozen and pops out...can't really tell you how long....but i'm guessing at least an hour.....and yes...it slides right out....

I always put mine in the freezer, usually an hour or so, and then the wax just pops out!

'Boy', I had forgotten about placing them in the freezer!

So much easier than melting candle and pouring out. If that's even possible.
