Greetings all... Now that the Christmas season is over and all the Christmas exhibits have been taken down and stored for next year, this Curator gets to figure out how to get the candlewax off the Victorian era mirrors, furniture, glass, crystal, and brass fixtures. We had "candlelight tours" in our historic house and when the candles were blown out at night, they splattered. Sometimes the candles just plain melted and spilled over the lip of the base. Sigh. I've gotten it out of the velvet with the old "brown paper bag and hot iron" trick, but am stumped (it's been too long since my conservation class) on removing the rest of it. I'm not crazy about using a razorblade on the mirrors and glass, besides which, leaves a film. Any suggestions? TIA, - Adrienne
