Can candles be made out of ear wax?

Answer 1

this was tested some years ago, but unfortunately due to the content of earwax, it doesn't contain a small amount of kerosene like domestic candles do, this enbles them to burn very slowly , the wax is only one part of two required to make them burn.

Answer 2

No idea about the ear wax, but in this area we refer to the strings of goo dangling from childrens noses as candles.
A merry greeting to such a child would be "Hello Candles" or "Hi Snotpump" After all I do live in Nottinghamshire and our county name used to be Snottinghamshire, named after King Snot... Now ask me one on sport...............

Answer 3

yes, it was in the guiness book of records of around '88 (though not exactly sure) where a man saved up about 10-15 years of ear wax to make a candle (Shrek also does it in SHREK 1 !!)

Answer 4

yes but you need lots. Try cleaning your ears every day and saving the stuff in a jar until you think you have enough.

Depending on the size of candle you want, it could take from 10 days to 10 weeks.

Answer 5

if u had that much ear wax that would be wronge. but i imagine so if u saved it in a shape of a candle. i don't think anyone but u would want to use it though.

Answer 6

Sure,it's still wax. You have to sort of mold it into a candle shape and put a wick at the top.

Answer 7

Anything can be made out of ear wax. YOu just have to try.

Answer 8

Ear wax does not burn very well so would probably keep going out and hold only a very small flame, but in theory yes.

Answer 9
