Will freezing a candle make it burn longer?

Not neccessarily longer. It makes the wax burn more evenly and not dribble down the sides.

NO it will actually make your wax very brittle and it may crack while burning making a very big mess, if its in a glass container it will cause separation from the jar and will burn improperly. The wick of the candle could also absorb moisture too and then you will have a completely ruined candle because your wick will never burn properly. I would never suggest putting the candle in the freezer.

I always put my candles in the freezer. They last much longer.
Apparently the chemical formula is changed. You do not have to keep them in freezer, just overnight will do. I have been doing this for years.

Yes. You don't have to freeze it; just putting it in the fridge till it's thoroughly chilled has the same effect.

No it will not help. Matter of fact it will make the candle brittle.

I have heard that it does, but never tried it personally.
