Cleaning a waxy candlestick

[GoodyGoodyGumdrops]

It's a very detailed candlestick, with lots of nooks and crannies. I've chipped off as much wax as possible. Pouring boiling water over it would clean it quickly and easily, but I very much doubt this would be good for the drains (local paper headlines: The Berkshire Fatberg!). Any alternatives?

lots of kitchen paper.
on a lowish heat in the oven (50 degrees or so). then wipe off when warm.

Catch the boiling water in a bowl as you pour. When it cools fish out the wax and bin it.

Excellent ideas! Thanks

The canldlestick is clean. No wax went down the drain, just in the bin.

The washing up bowl is now crusted with a 5cm band of wax. Rinse and repeat!
