Use two tablespoons of salt in just enough water to cover the candle. This Alabamian from Mobile also notes that chilling a candle for about 12 hours before burning it will have the same effect. Another tip: If you have hordes of candles, but no candlesticks the right size, immerse the bottoms of the candles in boiling water and wait several minutes.
