I have a lovely pair of the purple Jphn Lewis Fig and something scented candles. The wicks gave up and died, sinking into the candles. After digging them up out of the wax and trying to re-light to no avail, I am wondering: how successful would it be to melt them down and put a wick in? I have no equipment, but could I buy the wicks cheaply enough? Can I melt the wax in the microwave and would the jug I used for this be ok afterwards? I could use tin cans to mould a candle, but would it come out easily?
Help Mn, I am a candle virgin and love the smell of these, now uesless ones.
