    hug candles Louise? what's that about? would the hot wax not burn you?

    On the big uns the edges dont get that hot, just a bit soft so you are supposed to put both hands around and give it a bit of a squeeze to keep it in the right shape.

    Havent tried it as I havent had a big one.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    How about four candles (fork handles) to explain what you're laughing at ?
