[Nfb-krafters-korner] candle making

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I light my own candles all the time and I have no light perception at  all. 
 I do use wooden matches.  They are probably 2 inches long.
 
My favorite tool in lighting candles, but it is the wrong time of the year, 
 I think to find them, is one of those lighters that you use to light a gas 
 grill.  They have this long barrel and is like a gun that you push or pull 
 a trigger type thing and hold it.  When you let it go the flame goes  out. 
 I can put this right into the jar and feel it touching the wick and  pull 
the trigger.  My hands are totally out of the way and I do hold a hand  
hovering over the top to feel the heat rising to be sure the wick is  burning,.
 
Maybe you can buy these year round, but I know they have them in the  
grocery stores in the summer time.
