How to remove candle wax from glass votive containers

1.Take a disposable aluminum pie tin that does not contain any holes (check for holes by first filling with water, then dry out THOROUGHLY before proceeding to the next step). 

2. Preheat your oven to 175-200 degrees. No hotter, as wax is flammable at high temps! 

3. Place the aluminum pie tin inside a deep, glass baking dish to catch any possible wax spills. (You do not want to spill any wax inside your oven when using this technique, as it will smoke and catch fire later at higher temps). 

4. Place your votive containers upside down inside aluminum pie tin, so that as wax melts, it will drain into the pie tin. 

5. Place in oven, and check every 20 minutes. When wax has liquified and drained into pie tin, remove from oven. 

6. Glass candle holders will be hot! Pick up with a paper towel to prevent burned fingers, and wipe glass thoroughly with paper towels to absorb any residue wax. If wax has spilled into glass baking dish, wipe with paper towels while it is still hot. 

7. If wax has been removed, but a light waxy film remains, wash votive glasses in hot water or run through dishwasher. 

8. Let wax cool and solidify inside pie tin. When completely cool, throw away.   -- Fawn Martin Rubedo Candles Organization
