most of the people here migrated from /b/ somewhere down the line, and they arn't well famed for good advice

he's posting on /sci/ and he's asking how it works. if he posted it on /b/ with the caption 'DO EEET FAGGOT' then you might have a point, but as far as i see it, he's just some guy who came across the picture and is curious to how it works.

FYI, usually you shouldn't take chemistry advice from random people on the internet, because if the internet has taught me anything, its that people are assholes, pic related. Luckily you are safe with me, i don't wish you any harm, but i'll cite a source anyway. turns out that this is done commercially as well.

"For pre-fabricated, no-fuss color flame candles, the vast majority of manufacturers simply mix alkali and alkali earth metal salts with paraffin wax during the melting process. First, stearic acid and any non-flame pigments are mixed with an alcohol-based solution containing salts of the desired metal. For example, NaCl or table salt is used for a yellow flame, sodium borate or borax for yellow-green flames, lithium chloride for crimson flames, copper chloride for blue flames, potassium chloride (KCl) for purple flames and calcium chloride from orange flames. Metals and salts can be burned in different ratios to create specific hues but these are the most popular."

protip, do not take any home chemistry advice from 4chan, especially fucking /b/!
do independent research on the topics, /b/tards will try to troll, you injure you, or kill you.

if anyone is stupid enough to follow such advice, i call it natural selection.
someone so stupid would probably be killed anyway, by being run over or something.
