Abstract:
1. A method for extracting the ignitable end of a candle wick embedded in the candle wax of a candle using a device including an elongate hollow tube having a working end, a heating source and a draining end that is free of a vacuum source and operated substantially at an ambient atmospheric pressure, said method comprising: (a) heating a working end of said elongate hollow tube to a temperature sufficient to substantially soften candle wax; (b) positioning said working end of said elongate hollow tube proximate the embedded candle wick; (c) inserting said heated working end of said elongate hollow tube in the candle wax; (d) positioning at least one of said candle and said device so as to allow said candle wax to flow inside said elongate hollow tube and away from said candle wick thereby exposing the candle wick without imposing a vacuum thereon; and (e) disengaging said device from said candle thereby revealing the exposed candle wick.
