Adipocere Candles

I've read rumors of people making candles out of adipocere (corpse wax). Anyone ever seen or heard about it? It would definitely be an awesome collectible..... :twisted:

I didn't even know what that word meant. Sorry, I think it's a little --ewwwww-- myself.

What I think they mean by "corpse wax" is the wax used by morticians to make the bodies look presentable in the casket. IT's not actualy wax derived from dead bodies.

I wouldn't mind haveing some to put out for Halloween.

Oh, that makes sense, and it's not as macabre as what I was thinking.
