Abstract
Abstract A method is described for ornamenting wax candles comprising the steps of submerging the candles successively in a bath containing a liquid promoting the adherence of an ornamental transfer layer thereto, rotating each candle to roll its side wall against an ornamental transfer layer carried on one face of a transfer web while pressing a heated platten against the opposite face of the web to effect a transfer of the ornamental transfer layer, and applying a protective coating over the transfer layer.
