Talk:Wax fire

Ok so i found a little more on this event, but i've just started using wiki and am not sure of proper protocol. If someone could possibley clean this page up and make it look neater that would be helpful. Rabid9797 03:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys, i recently did a wax fire and was looking for information on why wax explodes when doused in water, but i can't seem to find anything at all, so i started this article to try and get some information on wax fires.

if anybody can find any information on this and contribute, it would be a huge help. Rabid9797 03:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like "wax fire" is not an appropriate name for this phenomenon. The wax, when melted and simply burning on its own, is a wax fire. I dont think it becomes a "wax fire" only after the water is poured in. Need a different name to distinguish what happens after water is poured in from when the wax is simply burning on its own.

Made it a redirect[edit]

After Kvng's advice, I have made this article a redirect to Boilover § Slopover. Further, after consideration, I could not see how any text could be salvaged for a merge, as all the concepts are explained in the slopover section of Boilover. Other concepts can be found under Chip pan, which is linked to from Boilover. Some statements in the article were plain wrong (there is no chemical reaction involved) and the clip included is hardly educational, showing a very dangerous act.
