Question

What happens if my fingers get burnt when putting a candle out with my fingers?

Community Answer

Then your fingers are burnt. Simply blow out the candle if it’s not out already and go put some aloe on your fingers to soothe the pain.

Question

How do I do it with a candle in a glass?

Community Answer

Using a glass jar, put it over and around the flame, so that it gets all the oxygen in or out. This suffocates the flame and the fire dies out, but slowly.
