I have seen the devastating effects of a candle container that has exploded and created the same surface scaring. It is quite freighting. It was a good thing that you were home and not out when that happened. Roy,

It is great that you stopped by, thank you for sharing that you light a candle in memory of your mom. I have seen the devastating effects of a candle container that has exploded and created the same surface scaring. It is quite freighting.

It was a good thing that you were home and not out when that happened.

It is great that the match went out while falling, that could have been a very ugly situation.

Your bees wax candles sound simply lovely. I actually hold classes for children with PDD-NOS, I use the sheet bees wax for those classes as it helps with their motor skills. Soy is processed from flakes vs the sheets. It also would not be a good canidate for the rolling method like bees wax is. Your room temprature and wax temprature is still an important factor. Did you make your seets? Ali, thank you for stopping by. Your bees wax candles sound simply lovely.

The room and wax temperature need to be just right and the work is very delicate. the finished products make great gifts. I put the rose in a brandy snifter filled with glass stones and the fish in a goldfish bowl filled with glass stones. I had forgotten how enjoyable the hobby of candle-making can be. Thanks for blgging about it. I nevewr made a soy candle. It was not "in" back when I was making candles and buying supplies. How is it different?

I almost set our house on fire when I was little. I used to like to strike matches. I had to light our gas stove with a match so I was used to them. But one day I dropped a lit match while standing by the drapes. Thankfully it went out while falling. I never played with matches again. Wish someone had told me about the dangers.

Ackerman, PhD, EA Wed, 31 Aug 2011 12:34:28 +0000 http://simplysoycandlenews.com/?p=467#comment-4197 Since yesterday was the anniversary of my mom's death, it meant we had a candle lit all day. Each time I do that (this is the 14th year for her; my dad's been gone for 25 y), I recall the person- and one seminal event. A long time ago (24 y??), I lit a candle for my dad. It was in a special container (supposedly designed for 24 hour burning). But, around three hours into the flame, while my daughters and I were just hanging around talking, we heard a large retort. We actually felt a piece or two of the glass container had exploded- and the formica top upon which it was placed was scorched black... We never put out candles again with an aluminum foil liner; we never put out the 24 hour candle without putting it into a small metal container we bought for the purpose. BTW, my daughters were then 6 and 2. (My son was not even a glimmer in anyone's eye). Since yesterday was the anniversary of my mom’s death, it meant we had a candle lit all day.
