Flames

ok so i made a large beer bottle into a candle holder, it looks pretty cool. but i’m afraid if i light the candle will the bottle get hot and crack from the heat or something. and will it be dangerous? and its not a large candle its a small candle like the ones you find at a.c. moore.

Well, way back when, wine bottles were used as candle holders without any problem. So, I do not see why not. I wouldn’t let the candle get too low to the glass. The wax could melt along the sides, then you could change the color of the candle and let it accumulate on top of what was there. Then repeat. You will then have a build up of different colors.

I haven’t seen these in a while, but they used to be very popular with "Mateus" bottles in Italian restaurants. Inexpensive way to carry a theme.

But, candle can break a glass. I just had a votive candle which I placed a candle into and the wick had shifted towards the edge of the glass, heating it and then, POP! I couldn’t figure out what it was. I then checked the candle and saw the wick tilted. I think my shelf was a little uneven. And , I think my glass on that holder was too thin. Plus I stupidly put in a fatter candle instead of the smaller ones in the foil. So, you learn something everyday. And, I am a very cautious candle burner. My eyes never leave them. But in your case, I think you will be perfectly fine.

candles always need to be watched.

Here are a couple of other ideas:

I had a fully melted candle on a candle warmer tip over, and covered the front of my computer tower. It covers both my CD drive and DVD drive, and im afraid to open them, and getting wax into the interior of my computer. How do I remove it, without damaging my computer tower?

You should take your front panel off,it should tell you how in your owners manual,then you can get the wax off of it with really hot water poured over it.Hopefully with that front panel off you can use a hot iron and an old towel to get the wax off the drive panels.put the towel over the front and heat the towel with the iron to suck the wax into the towel.That should take care of the biggest part of it.

What is the best way to get the remaining wax from a candle out of the bottom of the votive holder or jar it was in when there is no more wick? I’ve finished burning the candle, but now there is a mess of hard wax in the bottom and I can’t get it out well enough so that the votive holder looks like new again. Help!

freeze it. that is the best way according to martha stewart

I accidentally spilt a can of hot candle wax onto my lovely wooden waxed floor. Is there any special way of removing this candle wax without removing the wax from the floor?

it should scrape off in a layer…. if not you will have to melt it off then do a patch up on your floor wax

hard luck babe.

I’ve tryed using the search engines to answer this question but I guess I don’t know the right search words I want to know the benifits of candle light as far as how it copes with your biology. Like how your body adjust itself to the lighting of the sun to generate more of chemical x when your in sunlight. Well Would candle light be the best light source when going to bed in about an hour or less? I want details!

Light from a candle is fundamentally different from sunlight. Sunlight is blackbody radiation (filtered through the atmosphere). Candlelight is the result of line emissions from soot.

Google "candle flame spectra"

google "sunlight spectra"

for more information on what the difference between the two imply as far as the light from each.

The bottom line is sunlight contains far more shortwave photons than candlelight. I don’t think candlelight causes the body to generate any vitamin D, for instance. There isn’t enough blue in candlelight.

These candle votives are melted down and I would like to remove them before I buy new candles for my candle holders.
Any help would be appreciated

put the glass piece into freezer for about 15 minutes..then the wax ahould just pop out…

After a Birthday dinner the other night, I found that my taper candles had dripped down on my good placemats. They are a woven cotton and a light pink. The candle wax is bright red.

Put them in a freezer and then pick it off the best you can.

I have quite a dilema: I just had a party involving table cloths & candles-my problem is I got candle wax on the tablecloth-but made the mistake of washing it already? I need some tips to get the wax out… Help?

Get some grease proof paper or wax paper – place it on top of the wax stain and iron it. It should come right out.

I was burning a candle the other night. The candle was on top of one of the speakers of my home theatre. The wax seeped over the the tray and down the front of the speaker grille. I’ve got the majority off, but there is still a stain on the cloth of the path the wax dripped. I’m afraid if I try to rub it out the cloth will tear.

blow dryer but hang it upside down so the wax drips off nuff said

I was burning a dark purple candle yesterday on our fireplace. I got up just for about 2 minutes to empty the dishwasher and I see that the candle overflowed somehow onto the white carpet. It’s a berber, if that helps. Is it true that i can put down papertowels and run a warm iron over it?

get a brown paper bag from your grocery store – maybe several. place the brown bag over the wax and then place a iron on the highest setting on the bag. move in a circular motion. the heat gets the wax soft and the paper bag absorbs the wax. replace the bag often and do this all long as you need to remove all the wax. this really works!!! good luck to you!!!
