Question Hello! This may seem like a silly question, but I'm curious and uncomfortable, and it seems like much of my internet searching is scary and non-applicable. So, my question is, if you have a lead-brass candlestick, and a candle that burns all the way down, is it possible the lead or brass can ignite, sending lead/brass dust into the air? I'm living with a family that's burning a lot of candles, and again, have heard I shouldn't worry, but I would like to know why. Thank you!!!
Answer Not to worry, a candle would never get that hot. More likely would be the candle could be contaminated ()hasn't happened in several years), so buy good candles. If cleaning, make sure hands are washed or gloves worn and don't let small children handle since they put fingers in their mouth.
