Orange Candle

I've seen a few different posts about making a candle with oil and an orange, so I had to make a quick vid on it. First one I made burned for almost 3 hours off of 1 ounce of oil, although it does dry out the top and start blackening the edges after an hour or so. Just another little DIY project for keeping myself busy and being ready no matter what!!

Note: Definite potential fire hazard if sppilled while lit!!!

Man, you peeled that orange like a boss.

[chickenbonewatt]

Thank you. Most of my true skills go unnoticed and unappreciated ;)

Hey professional orange peeler chickenbonewatt, you are now hired as my orange peeler. I will give you 1 American dollar for every orange. That is all...

[chickenbonewatt]

Chicken here is a tip for you, get a squeezer (not needed) And squeeze out the juice into some corn starch. Mix the corn starch with the juice until you get a nice acid-like goo. Then you can take your fingers or a spoon, or a paintbrush, and coat the core (wick) of the orange. It will burn longer because the starch will have citric acid inside of it and citric acid is flammable :)

Oh, almost forgot. You have to let the starch harden! :D

Woah. That sounds like an awesome step to add to the process. Thank you!!!

[chickenbonewatt]

Thanks, I guess. I had trouble finding all the professionally edited videos on your page .........must be on a different channel.

[chickenbonewatt]

No, he's giving me critique. I didn't set out to make a professionally edited video, nor did I care about the length or quality. I just wanted to share a thing, and I did. Mistakes are part of the process and I leave them in for honesty.

Oh, and you forgot to capitalize "He's" and left a period off the end of your sentence. Are you glad for that bit of "advice"?

Nice dude. :) thanks for the video. :)

[chickenbonewatt]

I would imagine it would. Any liquid that will burn (but be careful trying).

[chickenbonewatt]

Thank you. I do respond with snark sometimes, but i love the cool cats that leave interesting, supportive and fun comments.

[chickenbonewatt]

Seriously? I have no effing idea what the difference really is!

[chickenbonewatt]

Yes, I do need a reach-around. You offering?

[Sami Arid]

What the fuck is your problem? You don't have to be such an asshole,do you need a reach around or something?
