I wonder is it possible to mix copper chloride with the wick and wax to produce a blue burning candle.

[skylighterVideos]

@nexzabuza You could. Copper Chloride is commonly mixed with wax and then pine cones are dipped in the wax. But I wouldn't use it indoors, the smoke isn't safe for indoors.

Do you guys sell it worldwide?

[skylighterVideos]

@Ruttie2 We only ship inside the United States.

highly toxic? care to explain or post link?

[geekgeneration]

Dont they use it in fireworks? Along with many other metals to create the colours?

[Johnsavag]

@antiswattt You could do it through electolysis of course.

you can add HCl to Cu (Hydrochloric Acid to Copper metal) it wont dissolve the copper not it all.. Nitric Acid is the only acid capable of fully dissolving Copper.. its really easy but it smells bad, releases chlorine gas, toxic.. you will have to evaporate (boil) all the water away.. but hydrochloric acid etches metal so use a glass bowl if trying to and low low heat as glass crackles when heated alot..
