Hi, the hot water trick seem to work for me but you could also try methylated spirits dabbed on if it is a small area then prise it off with an orange stick, you know the ones you use for your nails it is less likely to scratch the wrought iron> On the Internet it suggest that you use a furniture polish to remove the stain left behind once the wax is removed I suppose that a polish for cleaning the hob (Hobright) could be used to clean the candle stick after removing the wax just to stop the rust.

I continuously pour the wax into an double boiler(in case you do not plan on reusing the wax toss it in an previous tin can or coffee can) on an identical time because it incredibly is nevertheless heat and liquid. Then permit it get complicated and you will scrape it out with a knife. while you're a craft nut-save it int the previous sauce pan (double boilers are superb-the wax won't burn once you reheat it) until you have sufficient to soften down and make a clean candle-this additionally works with chunks of tub cleansing soap

Yep Yep Freezer trick will do it.
Leave it in the freezer to where the wax stiffens. After you take it out of the freezer, the wax can come right off when you take it off with your hand! All in one piece and no residue on the candle holder.
Try it, it really works!

W-r-o-u-g-h-t iron? Try the freezer trick, but what -->> I <<-- would try is boiling a big spaghetti-pot full of water, then dump the water into an empty 5-gallon bucket (or equivalent) and dunk the candleholder in the boiling water (use rubber gloves!) and swish it around and voila! the wax will melt right off. Then blow-dry the candleholder, unless you want a 'rustic' look with a little bit of rusty patina, the hot look in outdoor wrought iron stuff.

Wrough Iron ?
I'd simply place it in the oven for awhile with some aluminum foil on the rack UNDER the candle-holder... it will melt off
