Using Harry Slatkin glass jars

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.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
