Abstract
A method for making a spiral fuel body for a layered candle is disclosed. Layers of a non-liquid candle fuel are successively poured into a mold and cooled to a non-liquid state. The layers bond together in the mold, and are removed as a sheet of candle fuel, which is rolled into the spiral fuel body. Each layer is distinguishable from the other layer for the life of the candle by color, aroma, and thickness. A mold that can be used for making a rolled candle has obtuse sides for producing a tapered form to the candle.
Claims20
A method for making a spiral fuel body for a layered candle, the candle having a wick inserted in the fuel body, the method comprising:
- (a) pouring sequentially in time a plurality of layers of a liquefied candle fuel into a mold and cooling each of the layers to a non-liquid state, before pouring the fuel for a subsequent layer onto a preceding non-liquid layer, to bond the layers into a unitary sheet of candle fuel;
- (b) removing the sheet of candle fuel from the mold;
- and
- (c) rolling the sheet into the spiral fuel body.
A quadrangular elongated mold for fabricating a tapered rolled layered candle, the mold comprising:
- (a) a bottom wall, opposing sidewalls, and opposing end walls, one of the sidewalls and one of the end walls being formed at an obtuse angle relative to the bottom wall;
- and
- (b) the opposing sidewalls longitudinally extending in non-parallel relationship to each other.
