Defiler, justs get the candle then. They ARE great stash jars. Burn the candle, and then melt the rest of the wax out by putting the jar in a pot of hot water until the wax melts off the sides, pour it out, wipe out the residue with a paper towel, and then run the jar and lid through the dishwasher to get any lingering Yankee Candle Stank out. mmmm... 'clean linen' scented bud... gaak!
