What can I do when I damage a candle wick?
My wife's favorite candle is still about ¾ tall but the wick has burned down the center and it now gone. What can I do to "replace" the wick? what material may work in the meantime until I can replace it?
Warm the candle, then carefully circle the candle with a knife, down perhaps a half inch from the top.
You should be able to remove the wax and find the wick.
