I have a tiny bit of experience with this.
I used a dollar store candle for the wax sculpt in making my mug mold. First thing I did was remove the wick, so I can't really say I intended it as a candle.

In addition to the hot hairdryer trick mentioned above...I was told that rubbing the candle with an old pair of pantyhose (sounds kinky donnit?) helps to smooth out the final sculpt. And It does...just don't let people see you do this.
