Tealight as a floating candle

In bowls with water you do not have to expensive floating candles pour in. A normal tealight, freed from the Alumäntelchen, floats just as well.

fReady: As a curious person, I had to try this of course.

Test subjects:
Two commercial tealights with plates below "naked" and one in the chastity costume. As well as two clean old jellies 3/4 full of water.

"Naked One" was listed in Windhauch (breath, no breeze), because no hollow had formed yet, and on the uneven candle surface wax ran to one side.
(And no, not at the window.)
Glimmer then only brave very small and bluish to himself. The next breeze twenty minutes later, then completely kills the flame. But still sponge.

"Naked Two" was then tested in the windless bathroom, almost "under laboratory conditions".
Burned hollow inside until the tile was almost completely exposed from above and then surrendered to the invading water.
The remaining outer ring continued to swim. And the tile remained with its last strength somehow still stick with a finger.
No visible waxing into the water.

The "armored" burned down as always, and now also floating empty ahead of itself.

My conclusion:
Goes on both, but without bowls, the framework must be right.
And let it burn out in a coat of course is cheaper.
