I was researching the cost of just plain green tapered candles on Amazon, and almost had a heart attack the prices were so high for beeswax candles (beeswax doesn't drip). Anyway, I found two techniques that make your candles not drip that might help someone else if you want to get away with using the super cheap kind that do drip:
1. Put the candles in the freezer seems to work they say; and
2. Put the candles in salt water for 4-5 hours. The suggestions was 2 tablespoons of salt for 2 cups of water, so you adjust as you need to.
Anyone have any other ideas how to make cheap candles dripless?
(This is a pretty good LBYM idea I think.)
