Abstract: A premix capable of forming a microporous marking structure is prepared by kneading a pouch containing the premix, then opening the pouch and removing the premix therefrom. The mixed premix is then typically poured in a mold, and an absorbent backing layer is placed on the premix. The premix is then heated to form a microporous structure, and then cooled. The dispensing package used in this method is a thin-walled, flexible pouch which contains the premix. This dispensing pouch can eliminate the need to make up a batch of premix immediately prior to casting, together with the need to measure the amount of premix needed for each casting.

Abstract: An altar includes a plurality of candle holders for candles formed from glass containers having wax and a wick therein. The candle is placed on a base which is relatively wide to provide stability. A cover is placed over the candle which partially covers the top opening of the candle. The cover is formed from a ring having a chimney extending upward from the inner diameter of the ring and a conical flange extending downward and outward from the outer diameter of the ring. The chimney has a plurality of holes spaced around its base. A pair of holding rods connect the cover to the base so that the candle is held beween the cover and base to form a semi-rigid stable assembly.The cover, which may be used separately from the base, functions to prevent air currents over the top of the candle from causing the flame to flicker and smoke the inside of the glass container. The cover also keeps heat contained in the candle to melt the wax evenly across its surface.
