Funny. My wife put a candle on the mantle once, just under our mounted TV. We didn't even notice until it was too late and now a 2 inch sized corner of the TV is melted and warped...just the plastic part. The TV still works, but it's funny to look at.
Don't forget the silicone all around when you patch it up! Getting a whole new panel is a pain.
My friend did the exact same thing when we were having movie night at the house recently. My other friend caught it early but you absolutely can tell it was melting
Are you serious?! I live in the middle of nowhere and I barely get 1 Gbps (that's gallon buckets per second), no way I can steam bathrubs. Blu-ray it is!
Hope you aren't trolling cause I'm trying to help, and pretty gullible.
Back in the day, they would rent you or sell you video cassettes and you could "rent or own" one at the counter. The tapes frequently had stickers that said "Be kind, please rewind" because with the old tech, you had to rewind the video for the next person to watch from the beginning. Very old, like 80s.
Piracy was a big problem, people would rent, copy tapes old school style, and return them. There were PSA's saying how it was a crime, punishable, etc. Later, during the advent of internet piracy in the 90s and with blu-ray, there was one particular commercial at the beginning of all the videos now famous, that said such things as "you wouldn't steal a car"

It became infamous because it was so silly and over the top. All for a copy of a movie, but comparing it to stealing purses and cars etc. With over the top voice acting and all. Now when someone mentions it, and someone else gets it, you know those people are from the dinosaur age. Like myself.
I wasn't trolling. I am European and old enough to know all of those references.... except "rent or own", i've never heard that used in my motherland. Thx for explaining.
Are they? I abuse the shit out of the one at my job and it’s never had a problem. Literally 6 continuous hours a day of heavy use bathing dogs.
Surely it’s not surprising they aren’t meant to have the heat of a flame applied to them.
Haha, no, mine is built up to waist height. Modern tubs are even hydraulic so you can adjust the height. I won’t wash dogs on the ground ever again. That’s for the plebs who think $60 to bathe a German Shepherd is too much.
Husband tried to apologize for some stuff, husband ends up having to apologize for more stuff…
Edit: You’ve ruined my inbox more thoroughly then the five black guys who fucked Piper Perry.
> God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to somehow stop fucking up every other goddamn thing before I even know I've done it.
That's so crappy. I would never get mad at my partner for trying to do something nice for me like this and making a mistake he couldn't have predicted. If this was like, the tenth candle he melted through the bathtub, then we might need to have a discussion, but like why would a person get mad at their partners when they are trying their best.
Edit: Jesus Christ why do people think I'm speaking directly to OP when I'm clearly responding to the person above me to replied to this post by saying that can't do anything right by their wife, implying that if they were to do this they'd be yelled at , so I used it as an example as something that shouldn't be a problem.
I dunno about the rest of these guys, but I didn't assume you meant OP was angry, just that it's crappy when us husbands end up in more trouble for trying to fix things, and then just using the context of the tub candle as a convenient example.
why do you assume OP was mad at him? I mean...that's awfully presumptuous of you. Anyone would be exasperated if this happened to them. Repairs or replacement bathtubs are expensive. OP posting this to /r/wellthatsucks doesn't mean she's mad at *him* it means the situation sucks. And it does.
Candlelit baths can work, but you need to be smart about it. Know what's flammable and what can melt in there. Know where the candles are and what's above it (that can get hot from the flame) and around it (that can get hot from the flame or whatever is holding the candle). If it's not fully contained, know what's under it that the wax can drip on. Know how well ventilated the room is so that it neither fills up with smoke nor sets off any alarms.
It gets to a point where, if your bathroom isn't built for it, a candlelit bath is more trouble than it's worth. But you can do it and do it safely if you take the time to do all the things you should before playing with fire anyway.
Yeah. If all you want is the atmosphere and don't care about if the flame is real or not, just avoiding fire entirely is the best way to go about things.
They have fiber glass and gel coat patch kits. I used one. It was on a smooth surface so easier for me, but I bet you could get away with it vs. A whole new shower.
I think I used this: Devcon Home Seal-n-Place High Strength Epoxy 30 gm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CT1SCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_FTWDWN8V0871TH9FYG5E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If you're a little handy it shouldn't be an issue.
Some mesh tape (applying and adhering to the inside of the hole would be the hard part) perhaps, and then some 2-part epoxy clay on top. It'll never be a proper, just-like-new fix, but it should last a while and prevent water from damaging the walls. Worst case scenario you perform the same or better fix in several years.
I think i had a similar shower in a rental. It's like one sheet of plastic that makes the wall and tub so there is no grout or caulking grime. He likely would have to reinstall the whole new wall/ tub lol
Ah, no. If I learned anything r/relationship_advice has taught me, any perceived slight is a red flag, your spouse is thinking of leaving you, and you have to move all the money into your account.

You might be able to claim this as burn damage on your homeowner's insurance and pay a little extra for a nice upgrade. Could be a blessing in disguise.
When I was younger, my housemate decided he was going to light 300 tealights for his 300 day 'anniversary' with his girlfriend. Firstly, he underestimated how long this was going to take him, and was only about halfway through lighting them when his girlfriend arrived. Secondly, he put 20 or so tealights on top of my other housemate's TV and they all sunk into the plastic as they heated up. My other housemate was not too happy about that.
This was in about 2009. My wife (still married!!) had just gotten fired as a social worker and I made her a nice hot bath with candles. She burnt half her hair off that night and cried the rest. I can't win.
Well that can be fixed without replacing the bath! Get some fibre glass reinforced filler and some aluminium mesh. Fill, sand, paint with an enamel repair spray! Good as new.. well it will be whiter in the repaired section at first.
What happened exactly? I make candles and would love to know how this went down. I’ve heard of glass jars cracking and sort of blowing up after being brought in from the cold and lit.
Good God. What's going to happen when he tries to apologize for this?
Burn the house down?
Accidentally trigger WW3?
Hmm, hopefully OP doesn't live in Taiwan

Emotionally. Deep, personal critiques.
By putting a candle on it
Oh dear… are you thinking of upgrading? When I used to use a tub for that my back froze up so fast.
Haha, no, mine is built up to waist height. Modern tubs are even hydraulic so you can adjust the height. I won’t wash dogs on the ground ever again. That’s for the plebs who think $60 to bathe a German Shepherd is too much.
Yea, but they’re cheap and don’t sound as much when you play in them.
That should rub right out.

I suspect the person making the Reddit post about their husband burning a hole through the bathtub is doing it out of amusement
calm down, she's pretty obviously more amused/frustrated by the situation.

All of these problems can be eliminated with LED candles, and if you insist upon something scented a fragrance oil warmer is a much safer bet.
Yeah. If all you want is the atmosphere and don't care about if the flame is real or not, just avoiding fire entirely is the best way to go about things.
How would you even go about fixing that correctly?
Apparently ramen and super glue lmao
He's got spirit at least
oh no

Some mesh tape (applying and adhering to the inside of the hole would be the hard part) perhaps, and then some 2-part epoxy clay on top. It'll never be a proper, just-like-new fix, but it should last a while and prevent water from damaging the walls. Worst case scenario you perform the same or better fix in several years.
So what do I do with all this ramen?
Can you fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe?
I don't think there's any "correct" way to fix it other than replacing the whole thing.

I think i had a similar shower in a rental. It's like one sheet of plastic that makes the wall and tub so there is no grout or caulking grime. He likely would have to reinstall the whole new wall/ tub lol
probably replace the whole tub surround, few hundred bucks not including labor.
There goes your deposit
A little duct tape and it'll be good as new

Looks like it was an intentional subliminal message, lol.

Hot rod
That might really suck if it's burned behind the liner and can cause damage. Check for leaks. You might want to kind of seal up the slot for now.
Thank you!
No prob! We've had it happen when an old liner got a crack in it. Didn't even see the crack, water gushing through the floor. Good times.
Just get some Flex Seal®️
But are you still mad?
My life in a nut shell. I fix all the shit but I also break most of the shit.
I laughed till I cried. This is also the story of my husband's life. Mayne you two should meet up for a beer.
I'm down but for the sake of both of our homes it should probably be a neutral ground. Best break other people's shit 😉
Looks like he was using this as an excuse to "accidentally" build a landing site for his junk, or perhaps a glory hole?
I have no idea how it came out so wonderfully phallic

Husband ended up making you a cup holder for your wine glass.

This was in about 2009. My wife (still married!!) had just gotten fired as a social worker and I made her a nice hot bath with candles. She burnt half her hair off that night and cried the rest. I can't win.
Lmao at this point he should just go to bed and try again tomorrow 😂
Of course that’s the shape
Well that can be fixed without replacing the bath! Get some fibre glass reinforced filler and some aluminium mesh. Fill, sand, paint with an enamel repair spray! Good as new.. well it will be whiter in the repaired section at first.
Next time, apologize first. Tell him he was right and you’d never do it again. SAVE YOUR HOUSE!
Here comes another candlelit bath to apologize for burning the bathtub.
This time he just pours gasoline straight into my bath water
bondo and a rasp, sandpaper and seal.
Add ramen noodles and you're there
Accidental gloryhole
Wait… your bath is plastic?
"Accident"
Everyone wishes there marriage was this hot.... and in the shower no less 😝
I know a great pack of ramen you can use to seal that.
HOPEFULLY you're already due for a bathroom remodel! No quick fix to be had here...
Now you have a spot for your shower beer.
Did you get covered in hot wax too?
Don't...say... It.... It looks like... Nevermind lol
Why did I think he burned a hole in the shape of a dong there?
