DON'T HURT ME! AAAAH

ok, now, I know all about the coloured flames, k? But i thought it would be ultra spiffy if i could find some place that sold candles with coloured flames, because they'd rock... imagine, strontium flame, black coloured wax... sweeeeeeeet...

So... yeah.
I mean, it'd be tricky to make these dudes, although you could probably rig up an oil burner to do it. Just gotta get some strontium salt... you can get this from chemists, yeah?

I posted a while back about adding Boric acid to a chaffing dish fuel can. I still like it. It burns green. I also have a LiCl can as well which burns REALLY red. Not quite a candle, but similar.

Well, shall we go?

I think it could be possible, and i think i might try it (make my own :P) candles are fairly easy to make at home. But anyway, back to the point, i'm gonna try soaking a candle wick in meths and boric acid overnight, and dry it out a couple of times and put it in a candle and see if that works,but this is all in my head, so chances are i'll blow my hand off or something.

Oh and, i hope that all you guys in america are alright and your families are ok
