Gee, thanks for this! I think I shall borrow your techniques for the flaming whip I'm doing for my (Soon-to-be-redesigned-yet-again) Balrog (I found some AMAZING ref pics)... is that okay with you, Ajax? I'll give you credit for the technique... or do I have to give you a cut of the take?

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!
