ABSTRACT:
A device and method for exposing the ignitable end of a candle wick embedded in wax leaving an area around the wick to facilitate future lighting. The device includes an elongate hollow heated tube, heated by a heating source which heats the elongate hollow tube to a temperature sufficient to substantially soften or liquefy candle wax. A working end of the heated elongate hollow tube is inserted into the candle wax around the embedded ignitable end of a candle wick. The candle and the device are inverted and the wax around the candle wick flows through the interior of the heated elongate hollow tube and out a draining end of the heated elongate hollow tube thus exposing the embedded wick. The device also includes a handle allowing a user to easily hold and control the heated tube.
