nbkfdu4 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 OMG......I was talking to my sister on the phone and had just hung up. I am sitting at my computer, had the phone in my lap, reached up on my hutch to what I thought was an unlit candle and spilled it all over my keyboard and lap. Remember I had the phone in my lap.......well I'm now trying to get the wax off of it and the keyboard......My jeans....oh well...... Well the keyboard still types but has some places where I can't get.......I'm glad it way SOY!I was testing a 8 oz tin with a CDN 14 and I might say I think it was burning pretty well. It did have some hang up now that I look at it on one side. I don't know with the amount of wax that I lost if it will catch up on the next burn........ What's so unbelievable is that the tin was not hot...Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Not hot hot or was it just warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbkfdu4 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Not hot enough to know when I picked it up that it was burning! I guess it was just warm. The wax was way hotter than the tin..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlandishLady Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Wow glad you weren't hurt. You might try turning your keyboard upside down and VERY CAREFULLY using a heat gun on it. I've gotten wax off my phone, iPod, counter tops, leather couch, etc that way. Make sure it's set on low and never stop waving it back and forth. It didn't hurt my phone or Pod, though I must say I've never gotten it on my 'puter.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's done, turn it upside down on a towel and allow it to dry for several days. I've done this and it really works! Of course, I didn't have wax on it, either.
