I've searched around the internet, but couldn't really find simple step-by-step instructions.
I have large candles that I've bought and have used (mostly during power outages). Now the wax is so far down (created a hole) that I think there is an oxygen issue and the wick doesn't burn long or they are hard to get at to light. I hate to throw out the candles because there is still a fair bit of wax left.
I have a bunch of votive (and similar) sized candle holders and I have wicks.
What is the best (and easiest) process to melt the wax from the large candles and pour them into the smaller votives to make new usable candles? At what point do I put in the wicks? (some have the little metal stands and some I don't)
I'll need to know exactly what kind of pots/pans and other supplies to use. I am a complete novice when it comes to the anatomy and dynamics of candle making, so please really do dumb it down for me into easy to digest bite steps.
