HEAT!- Silly, from any source, be-it the wickflame of the candle or hot water or even sunlight! anything that causes the candle to reach a 106* will start the softening process and when it reaches 130* - 150*, it will become liquid depending on the size and kind of wax that it is made from! when wax becomes totally liquid, it becomes highly flammable as the entire amount has reached the flash point!
