Q: Act fast if wax spills on wool by grabbing a few paper towels and dabbing the mess. Avoid rubbing, which may spread the wax and embed it deeper into the fibers of your wool item. Remove as much wax as you can this way for approximately a minute before the wax begins to harden. Do not continue to dab the wax once it starts drying, as bits of the paper towel might get stuck in the mess. Give the wax an hour or more to dry before attempting to remove any more of it. The wax will be easiest to remove if it is solid. Go back to the spill once the wax is completely hardened. To harden the wax more quickly to make it easier to remove, place a bowl of ice cubes on top of it. Leave it there for several minutes until the wax is frozen. The size of the bowl and the amount of time you leave it on the stain will depend on the size of the wax spill. Gently scrape the surface of the wax stain with a spoon or blunt knife. Scrape away as much wax as possible without digging into the fibers very hard. Be gentle as wool is a very delicate fabric that may be easily damaged. Use a vacuum cleaner to clear away wax debris from the wool. Avoid sweeping or wiping away the wax, which may end up embedding it deeper into the fibers. Use a handheld vacuum or a vacuum with a hose attachment to target the wax precisely. Since wax is an oil-based stain, it requires a solvent that dissolves oil. Wet a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and gently dab the surface of the stain. Continue this until the stain disappears.  Never use ammonia or bleach as stain removers on wool, as they can damage it. In a pinch, nail polish remover will also remove wax stains.
A: Dab the wet wax with paper towels. Leave the wax untouched for at least an hour to let it harden. Chill the wax stain. Use a blunt knife or spoon to chip away the wax. Vacuum away the pieces of wax. Blot the remaining stain with rubbing alcohol.

Article: Infrared goggles filter out most of the visible light spectrum, allowing your eyes to absorb more infrared light. Purchase welding goggles online or from a home improvement store that have removable lenses to form the base of your goggles. Make sure the lenses are removable before purchasing the welding goggles. Blue and red stage lighting gels block out most visible light so you can see more infrared light. You can buy stage lighting gels online or from most theater supply stores. How many stage lighting gel sheets you need depends on how large the welding lenses are. If you run out, you can always buy more as needed. Depending on the goggles, you may be able to pop them out, or you may need to unscrew them.  If you have trouble removing the lenses, contact the manufacturer for instructions on removing the lenses. For some models, it may not be possible. Do not throw away the original lenses, as you'll need them as a pattern for the homemade lenses. To make the goggles, you will need to insert 4 lenses of the red and blue stage lighting gel in each lens. Use a marker to trace the original welding lenses 4 times each on the red and blue sheets. Then, cut the gel to match the shape of the lenses. Handle the gels carefully while cutting, as even small grazes across the lens can damage them. After cutting the gel lenses, insert 4 of each color into the welding goggles. Place 2 red lenses in between 2 blue lenses on one side and 2 blue lenses between 2 red lenses on the other side. If the lenses don't fit, they may be too large or small for the goggles. Compare them to the initial welding lenses and either cut them to size or discard it and make a replacement lens. Once you've finished your goggles, put them on and go somewhere bright and preferably outdoors. If the sky looks darker and objects look like shades of pink and violet, your goggles are successfully filtering out visible light and allowing you to see infrared light. Do not look directly into the sun with your goggles on. Just like when you're not wearing goggles, looking at the sun can seriously damage your eyes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use welding goggles with removable lenses to make infrared goggles. Purchase 2 sheets each of blue and red stage lighting gels. Remove the original lenses from the welding goggles. Cut 8 lenses each from the gels, using the original lenses as a guide. Insert the lenses into the welding goggles. Test your goggles in bright light.
