Part 20 Build a Putt PuttPop Pop Steam Boat s17candle holder

Part 20 is Step 17, cutting down thin birthday candles into 4 pieces, then making a candle holder out of aluminum foil. It's important to push the aluminum down to the base of the candle, or the candle will go out before burning most of its wax

Cant you just use a candle? Like the ones taht you put in holloween pumkens?

@TheChickeneer I'm not crazy about "tea candles" because they don't put out as much heat, but some people use them.

can i use glue for wood

[sciencetoymaker]

@viktor1804 I don't understand the question. What does wood have to do with this step?

my engine vibrates and jets out water so it works but it doesn't make a put put noise, is that O.K.?

[sciencetoymaker]

@galenator123 You might find that after a few runs it starts making the sound, too. I don't know why, but the engines seem to get better after a few runs sometimes (assuming no leaks, etc.)

@sciencetoymaker

He is asking if he can use wood glue, for wood.

@kiepskipolak Yes, and melting it on with a lighter--the same idea.

try glueing the candle on the holder but make the holder sort of a bowl form
