question about candles [View all]

I have some scented candles which I have burned down to the halfway mark or the wick is damaged in some way.

Because I am so fond of the scents, I would like to melt the wax and pour a new candle with a new wick.

Has anyone done this. Any advice?

And can anyone refer to me a supplier for the new wicks?
