Candle Perfection has been handcrafting a variety of permanent nylon candles for use in the religious, home decor, wedding and celebration, funeral, memorial and pet care industry for over a decade. Candle Perfection offers a real point of difference from traditional wax candles. Their philosophy is "The Perfect Candle Never Melts™" and their candles are constructed from the highest quality nylon and use multi-filtered liquid paraffin fuel. These permanent candles are refillable and more economical than traditional wax candles because they can be refilled an unlimited number of times. The Perfect Candle gives off a soft, warm glow in subdued lighting and replicates the appearance of a traditional beeswax candle. The outer nylon shell never melts and always looks exquisite. These permanent candles are crafted from nylon to replicate the appearance and illumination of solid wax candles without the messy wax, smoke, odor or soot. Candle Perfection products are more economical and environmentally safer to use.
