Wouldn't it have been easier to scoop the cracklin's out of the pan (leaving the tallow in the pan) and then just dip the wicks into the tallow (in the pan)?
Deer fat birthday candles.. Love it brother. Another thing you could do to save time and give yourself a longer burning candle is if you do have plastic bottle dabris laying around the woods is to just use it as a standing mold for your candle and cut away the plastic after the tallow solidifies.
You are the man dave! You should make a vid explaining all the uses of a deer so that NOTHING goes to waist, and then when you mention something just tag a vid that you did about it when you say it!
could just leave the tallow in the cup and put two or three wicks in it and burn all three at once.
