ABSTRACT:
A method for adding a candle wick to a candle includes selecting a wick cavity forming tool having a heated elongatable tip having a stopping edge formed thereon, then heating the elongated tip and inserting it into a wax candle to form a bore therein having softened wax therearound. A wick is inserted into the candle bore created by the heated wick cavity forming tool while the surrounding wax is still soft. Excess wax can then be removed from the candle so that the wick is formed in the candle. The process may also include removing an existing wick from the candle prior to adding a candle wick thereto and adding a plurality of wicks to a single candle and to the cutting of the wick to size.
