<p>Actually not in our town. We have 3 gas stations (2 are convenience stores, one is also a restaraunt) and a hardware store. The other businesses in town cater to the oil industry.

<p>Ok back on topic. Has anyone that has used the Sharpie method had their lamps to see what the test of time brings. I'm just saying that I'm kind of afraid the ink will bleed into the wax or is this not possible? It's getting closer to my 1st regoo and I'm getting nervous, lol!! What to do, what to do??? Should I be worried about the wax grabbing the liquid color over time?</p>
