    When I first started my apprenticeship, I was warned about shellac
    or pitch that filled these candlsticks. Seems that a boy a couple of
    years earlier was soft soldering one end of the candlestick. His
    resting left hand was underneath the other end. He didn't notice what
    was happening wih the shellac that was inside. When he did notice
    that a large glob of shellac had escaped, it wasn't because he saw
    it. He was looking at the other end. It was when the glob landed on
    his resting left hand. Pretty nasty burn from what I heard. 

    I hate when that happens. Use care when working on these things.
