Candles
It's fairly obvious that this household does a lot with candles. Since we save our leftover wax, this leads to a lot of leftover wax.
Dipping candles is a bit of a pain, and takes a long time and lots of attention. We don't have the equipment for it anyway. Molds would be better, but we're not equipped for that either.
So, today was candle-reworking time. I put taper candles in jars (in two cases, in saved Kool Whip containers) and kept layering on the molten wax as I melted it down.
Some of them are already hardened. The rest are chilling in the refrigerator. I'm a happy Lunatic (if tired, for unspecified reasons).

Pity we get our milk in gallons.
