They do exist. A hot glue gun wont work, p-tex needs to be way hotter than glue to melt. If you're using clear p-tex with a gun you're gaurenteed not to leave noticble carbon in your bases.
Ptex guns are pretty fool proof - real easy to work with and make a nice clean repair.
Only down side is that more often than not you need to base grind after a repair - you can't really scrape it with a scraper and get it close unless you wanna work at it for a while.
or theres that hair stringy stuff. you crumple it into a core shot and press it down with your thumb then hit it with a heat gun for a minute till it gloops into shape.
and a lighter doesnt get the p-tex hot enough to use its full potential, the proper way i was taught is to use a torch to light the candle, then try to remove any carbon, which you shouldnt have any if you know how to melt it.
false. it most certainly can be done with a match, i did it tonight actually. you just have to keep it in the blue part of the flame and then once it is lit, keep it low to something (like a scraper) to make sure not to much oxygen is getting to the flame and making it bigger. This keeps the flame on the candle blue and results in almost no carbon build up
