I usually press one section out as thin as I can get it . . . that becomes the "top". I like your idea though, will have to try that on the next batch!<br /><br />Brigid - never thought of a beeswax candle, will have to add one to the car kit!eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-5125278669075811852014-10-12T07:26:23.394-05:002014-10-12T07:26:23.394-05:00That's great information Bill.

They burn really clean with no soot or smoke. Hopefully won't have to use them, but threw them in there, just as back up.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-65923027372961179362014-10-11T21:03:28.448-05:002014-10-11T21:03:28.448-05:00I did this once and I made a minor, correctable mi...I did this once and I made a minor, correctable mistake. My discs were saturated and took longer to light because the flame of my lighter had to melt out too much wax.<br /><br />Much better, in my mind, to place the saturated discs on an inclined surface to cool. The runny, melted wax will still saturate most of the disc (or square) but one corner or edge will be "drier" and easier to light.<br /><br />Great idea.
