Question
Not candles- but poured wax antique dolls. DO you know what adhesive will hold pieces of wax - probably a combination of beeswax and spermicetti - together? I am afraid melted wax with also melt the thin pieces of poured wax. Crazy glue would ruin the material, also.

Answer
Hi Patra,

I don't think I can help you in your repair of your doll.  My expertise is making candles.  I'd hate to tell you one thing and then it ruins your doll. I looked to see what I could find for answers for you and I came across this website.  Perhaps they can help you with your doll restoration.
