Dunbar Plumbing
Master Plumber
Here was a new one for me.
Had a customer call me in dire need of "plumber's candles" for a wedding shower tomorrow night, pronto! She was going down a list of plumbers trying to find someone who would sell her some since all the hardware stores she called could only order it and have it in a few days.
I personally am not aware of these, maybe cause I only hatched out of the egg in the late 60's? She stated that they are long and thick, and very hard to come by. I stopped right there and excused myself from the conversation because she started giggling uncontrollably. I implied that she may want to call the plumbing supply houses in the area to fit her need.
I promise this isn't a joke, I really did get a call on plumber's candles today. Anyone who knows about these let me know. I can't see what candles provided in the plumbing industry unless it was for a source of light in crawlspaces or something. Or maybe even something tied to pouring lead joints but it takes a pretty strong source of heat to get a lead ladle going for pouring.
