For the few here, I am preparing a few fire photos.
It will take a while. I am just getting started.
As to allergies from candles, I had 24 going.
Some might expect a smoke invasion.
Blended into the light landscape, these days, I have quite a lot of battery based candles. There is a switch over.
Rather than burn the floating candles, I will see if someone else might like them.
When I burn a birthday cake candle holder, the net effect is not a bad effect. So, something is different about the other night.
The visual effect of floating candles appears like lava. And the impact on the water was that it was hot. It was not tea hot, but very hot. Eventually, the wax made a near one inch layer on top of the water. And when wicks began to fall down, I blew the last few out. I let the overall layer cool, and later, I threw it out.
There you see most of the candles I made a display of. Now, I will go for the ones which don't have a wax which I don't care for.
When I first began writing about this topic stream, it was for managers of apartments in Europe. So, for those building managers, who want to keep fires out of the buildings, here is my advice.
1. Candlesticks must have a fluted bottom.
2. Get stearine or clean burning wax combination recipes for the candles.
3. Invest a little education in those who want to make candles. Soy candles seem to be good.
4. For candles which come not fluted, I recommend fluting them with a knife.
My cutting board was just a couple feet from where the candle event happened. That explains why I did not blow them out to cut them. However, in this little story, perhaps I should have blown them out. It was within 2 feet of where the candle fell out of the holder. And I was right there when it happened. I did not have to move very far to fix it. I moved a couple steps. The context suited what I did. However, after this, I began thinking if you do burn candles, you ought to know where the fire extinguisher is. That is something to think about.
I don't particularly care for walking with candles. It's not amazing. Once you do set your candles up, you don't want to be moving around much. They need to stay put.
As to the concept of floating candles, it was attractive. I will look around for a better floating candle. I need to get a few ideas of what is out there.
Take this, and bring whatever you need out of it for you Apartment Safety Plan, pertaining to the use of candles in your apartments. That is why I am writing this.
Is it not bizarre that I burned an entire box of the non-fluted candles, and it was the last 2 in the box which fell out of the candleholder? I find that odd. Then, I wonder what difference there was between how hard I pushed the time before and this time. I need more than muscle pushing the candle in. Wax needs to go. And with cutting the bottom and all, you need to be aware of size. You need the base of the candle to still be tight in the candleholder. I kind of measured the base of the candle holder, and I cut the candle base to its size.
My countertop is not flammable. The flame had no impact. I am sure that may vary. Mine had no impact. Were I an apartment owner, I might like to know how durable the counter was.
I am closing off here, for those who came.
Have a nice evening.
