How to Straighten Crooked Tapered Candles   Add to wiki

Tags: Candles, Tapered Candles, Crooked Tapered Candles, Lighting, Fixing Candles

Hang candle upside down inside a tall vase, place in sunshine until candle straightens itself.

1. Find a tall vase that is at least 1" taller than the candle is long.
2. Stick a large needle through the base of the candle (push in slowly to avoid breaking the candle, it may help to warm the needle between your palms beforehand).
3. Tie a string to each end of the needle.
4. Tie the two strings to a pencil or other object long enough to bridge the top of the vase. Tie it snugly so the base of the candle is against the pencil.
5. Place the candle hanging inside the vase, with the pencil resting on the rim.
6. Place in a sunny window for a little while, checking it after about an hour to see if the candle has straightened itself. Leave it there until it is straightened.
7. When straight, move the vase and all into a cooler place, and allow it to hang for a couple of hours to completely cool. Then you can remove it, take off the strings and remove the needle.
8. You cannot heat it laying down, as it won't be straight due to the taper.
