How do you get dry melted candle wax out of glass candle holders?
Anybody know a good way?? Its a big glass candle holder and all it is now is a dry pool of hard wax at the bottom :S
You can either heat it up, and soften the wax, or put it in the freezer to shrink the wax.
Two cautions about about heating up the wax.
First, wax is very flammable. If you put it in a pot on the stove, be very careful. And have some salt or towels or something nearby in case the wax catches on fire. It’s risky to try to extinguish burning wax by putting water on it – you end up splashing the burning wax all over the place. You need to smother a wax fire.
Second, don’t use a pan that you like very much. As the wax melts, it’s going to float all over the pan, and stick to the inside. Then, you’ll have a clean candlestick and a wax-covered pan.
I’d start with the freezer method. If that doesn’t work, I’d put the candlestick in an old coffee can and pour boiling water over it.
All of this assumes, of course, that you can’t just dig the wax out with a knife. 
Good luck!
