Candles

Candles consist of two main parts, wax and a wick. The wick is lit to provide light. At one time, they were the main source of nighttime light for in most homes. In more modern settings they are used more for fragrance or mood setting. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, scents, and colors.

How can you remove candle wax from an oil painting?

If the oil painting has dried completely or is varnished (has a sheen to it), and the crayon mark isn't too large, wiping it with a soft warm damp cloth that has a drop or two of Murphy's oil soap on it could get it off. Crayon is wax and once an oil painting/varnish has dried, it is a pretty tough surface, so you might also try blotting the crayon with a soft cloth that has been soaked in really hot water, and then scraping the softened crayon off with your fingernail.

What makes a candle burn faster?

The speed of a candle burning probably depends on many things. Just by thinking around, we could guess that it depends on the width of the wick, the rate at which the liquid wax flows into the wick (which depends on the wax viscosity and the shape of the candle), and the rate at which oxygen can be supplied to the flame. This, in turn, depends on the dynamics of the airflow around the flame, which probably depends in part on the energy density of combustion of the liquid wax.

I would guess that the scent added to candle wax influences the viscosity of the liquid wax and its energy density of combustion. I'm sure, with sensitive enough instruments, you could measure the effect of different scents on candle combustion. But would you ever notice this effect in everyday life? That depends on the relative proportion of scent to wax in a candle.

I'm guessing that it doesn't take much scent to make a candle smell. Even though are noses aren't as good as dog noses, we can still detect tiny concentrations of scent molecules in the air. Also, most scents are volatile organic molecules, and their addition in large proportions to wax might prevent it from forming a solid. So, is there enough scent in a scented candle for you to notice its effect on the burn in everyday life? Probably not.

If there are particular candles you're curious about, then you can answer this question for yourself. Do an experiment! :) Experiments are fun, and this one is also really easy. Take two candles that are identical--except for the scent-- And then put them next to each other, and light them at the same time.

You could do this experiment anywhere. You don't have to worry too much about the air in the room being still, because the candles will be next to each other, and they will experience almost the same variations in airflow. So set the candles up in your living room or kitchen. You can even put them out when you go to bed, just be sure to relight them at the same time.

Have fun!

How do you make a candle with oil?

Depends on the candle I suppose. Way back in the old days, candles were made of beeswax. A wick would be dipped in hot beeswax repeatedly until the candle was of substantial size.

Paraffin wax is used today. Please let me add a cotton wick that must pass all the way through so you have something to light. You can also add scented oils and wax colorants. If you want to get tricky, you can put brightly colored leaves and small decorative sticks in the candle. Beware of glass beads and marbles as the can explode if heated.

When do the Shabbat candles get lit?

It is forbidden to light or extinguish a flame during Shabbat. For this reason, you would not blow out the Shabbat candles. You would let them burn our themselves. There are Shabbat candles specially made for this that will burn for about 3-4 hours, a perfect amount of time to stay lit during dinner, but allow you to go to bed without worrying about leaving a lit candle.

How do you make a candle tower?

To make a candle tower (if think you mean candle tower as a melted wax tower), it's actually really simple. First, you're going to want a baseboard (I have a cut sheet of plywood as mine) that you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty. As a strong note, this project gets messy over a large area when the wax splatters. Next, you're going to want to get a base to hold the candle (eg. candlestick, old glass bottle, something of that sort). Then you're going to want to get taper candles (any color or height) to stick in the candle stick. Then light the candle! Once the candle has burned down, stick the next one in. From there all you have to do is keep burning more and more candles to your heart's content. Hope that helped!

P.S. Watch for overly hot and humid days. Wax does melt when the temperature gets over 95, things will start leaning.

How were candles made by the pilgrims?

I dunno if this helps but I remember going to a village where you can make all sorts of things like candles! It was really cool experience! When we made the candles they gave us a piece of string to start off with and we dipped it into a barrel full of melted wax. We continually dipped the string into the wax and lifted it back up and let that layer dry for a minute or two and slowly dipped it back in the wax again until layer after layer it got bigger =) I'm not sure if this is titally how they did it but I remember a pilgrim cosplayer shwing me this when I was little xD

So that the light will illuminate not only the house but also the window

What does the candle light of Hanukkah stand for?

A miracle that God did.

Answer:

The Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) under Antiochus Epiphanes (2nd century BCE), at the instigation of the Hellenizers, had forbidden various Torah-practices in Judea, such as Sabbath-observance and circumcision, rededicated the Temple to a Greek idol, and pressed the Jews to offer up idolatrous sacrifices. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Hasmoneans (a family of religious Jews) fought to retake the Holy Temple, which had been seized by the Seleucids, and to enable the people to once again observe the Torah. The Hasmoneans (also called Maccabees) were miraculously victorious. When they reached the Temple grounds, they immediately reconsecrated it to God. As part of this action, they relit the Menorah (Exodus ch.25), which was fueled with olive oil. However, it soon became apparent that there was only sufficient oil to keep the candelabra burning for one single day - and it would take eight days to make and bring some more.
Miraculously, the menorah stayed lit for eight days (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), allowing enough time for new oil to be prepared and brought.
The significance of the miracle is that it demonstrated that God's presence still dwelt in the Holy Temple. This is what Hanukkah represents: the closeness to God; and the avoidance of Hellenization (assimilation).
The Torah Sages instituted the festival of Hanukkah at that time (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), to publicize the miracle (Rashi commentary, ibid). This is why we light our Hanukkah-menorahs.
(The Hanukkah-menorah, or hanukkiyah, is a special form of the original seven-branched menorah. Our Hanukkah-menorahs have eight spaces for oil, or candles, to mark each of the eight days for which the oil lasted and a ninth to hold the shamash, a candle used to light the others.)
The Al-Hanisim prayer which we recite during Hanukkah centers around the Hasmoneans' victory and rededication of the Temple, while the candle-lighting commemorates the miracle of the oil.
Though the military victory is prominently mentioned in the prayers, it wouldn't have been celebrated if not for the miracle of the oil. It should also be noted that the main goal for which the Maccabees fought was not political independence. They fought to enable the people to observe the Torah's commandments; as we say in the Al Hanisim prayer: "the Greeks sought to cause us to forget Your Torah and leave Your statutes."
