candlewax
Melted birthday drippings
Candlewax is the waxy substance that forms the body of a candle, typically made from paraffin, beeswax, soy, or other fats that melt when heated and solidify as they cool.
The term is often written as two words (candle wax) and refers both to the material before it's shaped into a candle and to the residue left behind after burning.
I scraped the candlewax off the tablecloth.
Candlewax drippings are sometimes used decoratively or in craft projects.
