Abstract
A method for making a candle is disclosed. The candle is made by filling an open-topped jar with a solidifiable fuel, suspending in the fuel a rod having a sheet metal plate connected to its lower end concentrically with the jar, allowing the fuel to solidify around the rod, removing the rod, inserting a wick into the hole left by the rod and into said plate and completely filling the jar. The wax is dispensed into the jar by an improved circuit which includes a tank containing the heated wax and a pump which recirculates liquid wax through a pressure regulating valve. The wax is dispensed to the jars by timing valves.
