subject: Re: A second use ....

BH>Just a quick question since I am short on time this morning.  You said
... and isn't it just those mornings when we are short of time 
that we find that YESTERDAY we used the last of the coffee from 
the 1KG tin, and have to open a new tin before we can get our 
morning dose ....
Which leaves us staring at the circular tin-plated seal that 
we've cut from the top of the can. So now you want to know what's 
a second use for that, eh?
Simple: it's a base for candles when making tree candles. Turn 
the circular metal plate so that the slightly-raised rim sits 
facing downwards, the centre of the plate is dimpled upwards. 
Drop a few globs of molten wax onto the centre of the plate and 
establish a candle in that small pool of wax. Then build the 
tree.
The metal plate makes an ideal flat heat-sink for your candles.
