Question
I am making a unity candle for my daughter's upcoming wedding in June.  I'm stumped as to what type of glue I should use to adhere swarovski crystals to the pillar candle.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Answer
Dear Jory - I suggest you use STICKY WAX.  It is available in stores that sell candles or dollhouse supplies.  It is widely used to adhere candles to thier holders or to secure tiny objects to a surface in a dollhouse.  I found mine in a craft store in a great little tin.  Use a very small amount.  I found the site below.  It refers to use as an adhesive for wax to wax.
