Some candles have a scented thing in them that can cause discoloration. I had one of those oil defusers in my bathroom and it leaked...turned a spot in my jacuzzi tub purple! (Even though the oil was clear) I just wanted to give you all this little note about candles and fragrance oils, etc. I am personally addicted to candles and such. There are over 100 different types of wicks and seriously a lot of science goes into making these candles. But the way they can possibly etch or discolor a surface is scary. I did find that with one of my candle stains, I used a blade to get the wax off. It left a bit of a residue. I tried all sorts of things. Then I tried just using an unused candle (same type of candle) to rub on it and it helped it go away. Some substances will remove the same kind of substance.

I just did one yesterday it was a dial dishsoap stain. Came rite out just make sure you heat the stone slowly and the surrounding area. Don’t isolate the heat in one area.

We have a guy here who been in the buisness for over 30yrs who once told me that somtimes you can take a torch and burn out certain stains. has anyone ever heard of this? sounds risky.

I need to clarify - candle wax is on the hearth not a coating.

Use stripper for left over residue.
Peel it all off less messy and quick.On May 9, 2012 4:27 PM, "Fred Hueston" <fhueston@gmail.com> wrote:
depends on the type of wax. I would start with a stanard floor stripper and see what happens. If its expoxy or urethane the stanard stripper wont remove it
