Is it possible to make your own floating candles? I know that they are not the same as regular candles.

I love candles and have a lot of them in my house but I want to buy some candle holders both for tea lights and regular candles but I want something homely looking. Any ideas?

Try the Quick Candles site - http://www.quickcandles.com/Glass-Star-Bowl-p/5052_1.htm They have a range of sizes. I like their star shaped ones that can be used for floating candles.

Novelty candles are candles that are fun. They use colors, themes and patterns to turn the regular candle into something a bit different.

Flameless candles are made from beeswax like regular candles but instead of a wick they use Led lighting to illuminate the candle. They look very realistic but are much safer than regular candles.

Unfortunately, you failed to mention the Model Number and whether its a flue-less or Vented unit. In either case, the black streaks you see on the walls and ceilings is soot. If it's a flue-less unit, this is an indication that the unit has not received routine maintenance on a regular basis. The sooting is caused by a dirty or clogged burner or low gas pressure.

Also, burning scented candles and operating the heater at the same time, will cause soot. Not from the heater, but from the candles. All candles soot, but scented candles soot more than others. Combine them with the warm moist heat and they will soot 50 times worse. If this is the case, it's the candles sooting, not the heater. Stop burning the candles while the heater is in operation.

Is the soot dangerous? Yes, to the point that you are breathing it in, when it;s floating in the air. The sooting didn't occur over night, it has been doing it for sometime. You finally realized it, when you saw the black streaks. Stop using the heater until it is professionally serviced by and authorized Rinnai Service Technician and the walls and ceiling are cleaned.

You can either remove the soot yourself or have it professionally done. Then, you should prime paint the walls and ceiling with a sealer like Kilz, before repainting. All curtains or draperies should be washed or dry cleaned. All furniture and carpeting should be vacuumed thoroughly.

Because low frequency sound travels better lower to the ground. The effect if placed high up would be minimal

LF sound has more punch that regular speaker sound, it also caused more speaker movement and if placed high up could in theory pull itself from the shelf or mount.

You tube has some sub sound tests you could use to show this theory. or maybe the candle trick of putting a lighted candle in front of a sub when turned up a bit may convince you.

put a candle about 6 inch away from a sub and play some nice bass it will blow out the candle more than a regular speaker
