Every candle I've stashed in my car has either deformed or melted completely into an awful mess. I've kept them both in the cabin and in the trunk. No candle has escaped unscathed. Which ones should I use?

How about making your own by melting parafin into used cans with a wick in it? Different shaped cans (tuna v soup) will give you different applications. Coffee cans also have application for longer term use. If necessary, you can cut away levels of the can as the wax melts.

How about the Nuwick candle?

Just found this liquid candle as well...

Excellent idea. One big problem. I'm too lazy. But I can admit that. Can I buy this stuff somewhere?

Both the links in my other posts will take you to retailers.

Thank you. Melted candles are YUCKY. Especially when the wax creeps all over everything and then sets. Then you get to extract your gear from hardened wax. Live and learn.

Do a search in the forum for this. I posted some links in earlier threads to high temp candle sources.

While most of my candles have melted in my car, THIS one has not.

I had even opened up my penrith and wraped the candle in foil, but it still leaked all inside(the insturctions are now definatally waterproof, but transparent!) and even leaked through the duct tape holding it closed!!!

Cool. Thank you.
