When the wax gets real close to the bottom of the jar you can do two other things. Put the jar in a pan and set it in the oven on very low heat until the wax melts and you can than pour it into something else. The jar will be hot so use a pad when pouring it out. Another is depending on the jar or votive holder you can put it in the freezer til it gets cold and than just pop out the wax.
