This is almost an embarassing question.
I left a Stone Tower Bridge beneath a hanging lantern with a candle in it (ok,
my bedroom decoration is... eclectic) and wax dripped all over it. I had hoped
that it would pry right off, but it doesn't seem to want to. So... does anyone
have any ideas as to how to remove it? I thought about introducing a low heat
to melt the wax so it can wipe off, but I'm not sure what the heat tolerance of
Lego really is.
If it makes a difference, the flats that make up the ramp behind the Tower and
one of the lanterns is what got dripped on.
