So my mom tested it out and it worked!
She soaked our el-cheapo taper candles for the candelabras in salt water for about an hour and then stuck them in a freezer.
She let them burn for about 3 hours with NO DRIPPING!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!
So if you don't want to dish out the dough for no-drip candles, try this out! I don't know if it'll work for everyone but it worked for us :). Thanks for being my little scientist mom :D.
