This guy needs a haircut I swear its gonna go up in flames

@IqsMontegro yes u did and thank you ^.^

@IqsMontegro so theres less concentration of it! so if u relate that concept back to the wax...there isnt enough wax to be burnt above where he put the match stick.!
hope i answered ur question.
-
@THEGAMINGRULER because as the wax is cooling it dissapates into the atmosphere. therefore the molecules which make up the wax are spreading apart as it goes away from the source. A bit like if you sprayed some air freshner, you smell it for a bit, then it dissapates and fills the whole room up.
