CHURCH CANDLES, WOOD SCRAPS AND SUNLIGHT Twenty four churches in the Twin Cities area are selling tons of used candles to an entrepreneurial group who turn them into fire starters that compete in the market with toxic lighter fluid. The cottage industrialists retrieve scrap toxics-free fiberboard from dumpsters, cut and saturate them with candlewax melted in a rotating solar oven. "They burn hot for 15 minutes, even when wet."
