  2. with regards to the above post

    many of us within the uk actually chat to each other not only on here but via msn, email and some even by phone, so calling each other by our names isnt a problem to us and many of us are actually friends!

    i am sure that many of the other board members actually chat privately also and wouldnt have a problem with their given name being used

    Infobox disclaimer and referencesIn organic chemistry, acrolein or propenal is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde.

    Acrolein is described as having a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell similar to that of burning fat. Skin exposure to acrolein causes serious damage. Acrolein concentrations of 2 ppm are immediately dangerous to life. Acrolein may be easily produced by the action of approximately 1 part sodium bisulfate on 3 parts glycerine by weight.

    Acrolein is such a severe pulmonary irritant and lacrimating agent that it has been used as a chemical weapon during World War I. It is, however, not outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention.

    When glycerol is heated to 280 °C, it decomposes into acrolein.[2]

    Acrolein tends to polymerize when left at room temperature, leaving a gummy yellowish residue with a putrid odor.

    Acrolein is also a metabolite of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, and is associated with hemorrhagic cystitis.

    i never heard of it but thats what www comes up with???

  4. she reminds me of a cartoon called rug rats angelina if i remember her name correctly spoilt little madam with massive tantrums :D

    but in saying all that i envy your ability to do something like that nice work :grin2:

  5. well it came out of the mould however, the red hearts on the outside started to bleed into the uncoloured wax so she thought she would take a toothpick and swirl it!

    but in her impatience for it to harden she added a heart embed pushed it in and as she put it " mucked it up", so remelted and now has a lovely shade of pink heart! although she's still not impressed as the top is all bumpy, but for a first attempt its not bad!

    Its now sitting on a holder in the bathroom, wouldnt mind but my bathroom is black and white with this pink heart in it!!

  6. Oh here we go

    my 14 year old daughter is as we speak sitting and watch a "candle" she has made,

    love heart pastry mould with soya red mini love hearts all round the outside filled then with parafin wax!

    erm not sure what you would call this but all she had done is as she puts it chucked it all in and see what happens!!!

    Fingers crossed i can get it out the mould!

    Watch this space!!!
