Have you ever wanted to put out a candle without getting your fingers wet? This guide will show you how.
Step-by-Step Guide
First, light your candle. It should be tall, like 2 inches (5 cm). You will need to make sure that you can take your hand away quickly if it is required.
After that, lick your fingers. This is an important stage in the procedure. You must remember it! Licking your fingertips causes a film of water to form on your skin, preventing it from being damaged.
Put your hand next to the flame or wick. Grab the wick and let it go. This should make the candle go out. If not, blow out your candle and make sure you shorten the wick before trying again.
With practice, you can perform this without touching your fingers. First, practice making the timings. Take care!
