I finally got around to reading all of the tips...thanks.  Here is a little thing that I have learned.  Bounty towels are good for "pot holders".  I use them to move hot candle molds to a water bath.  Fold four together and dip into cold water.   Squeeze out. The water keeps the towel from slipping and the thick cold towels keep your little fingers from getting burned.  Also, they can be re-wet and used for a few days.  Donita
