Abstract

A method of manufacturing self-filling candles uses a pour table and with cylindrical cavities and removable, insertable cores. The self-filling candle fills itself with melted wax to form a second candle for additional burning. The shape of the self-filling candle generally includes a hollow cylindrical candle body with the internal cavity having a solid bottom wall and extending upward to a top opening. The candle body is made of a single wax. A first wick is spirally located along the inside surface of the cylindrical sidewall, with its inner surface exposed. As the first wick is burned, melted wax pools in the cavity to form a second candle. A second wick, e.g., a wooden wick, is positioned in the bottom surface of the cavity, and is burned once the second candle has been formed. The manufacturing method is capable of making multiple self-filling candles with the first and the second wicks molded in place without the need for additional labor.
