United States

I know that Candle wax is harmful.
I tried it once in Okinawa in Naha. Inside an old hut, there was a mama-son, and she had a reputation amoung the locals for curing all manners of disease and maladies. Upon an army buddy's advice I went to she. I think her americanized name was Sweetpea. At first Sweetpea wanted to tie my testicles to a ba-ka-tory's tail, (which means in english a red ass monkey!) I am adventuresome, but I do draw a line! Anyway She rubbed me down in candle wax, and to this day any time I see a candle, I have flashbacks.

Of course this is a writer's tall tail:)
Remember the Ba-ka-tary! Ariba!

Regardless, I think you have something that can be cultivated into something usable.

I can only see inside my little genre, but it's there.
Too bad you aren't closer, I'd entertain trying to work with you.. Who knows maybe you have the spark that lights bigger fires..and we all want the biggest fire easily seen from orbit these days.. LOL

Sheet, I think we all want to light the MF'er up so it can be seen and heard round the world..endurance of material.. a lofty aim indeed.

There's the candle in your picture of the comet! It's melted in the middle. The Bright spots are the ends of the wicks. As quoted by Popeye.."Why blow me down!, burning the candle at both ends MF" Well except the last part. The first half he definately quoted, and that I have on the highest authority.
