I've no idea why this was posted in the UL board:) Moving to the DIY board.

(demonstrating my comparative lack of knowledge of anything that is practical, I've only the vaguest idea of what laminate is - I assume it's some sort of plastic or fake wood. You might be best off owning up to your landlord about your lack of tea candle (I know what they are - I call them "fire hazards") skills but the DIY people might be able to help. Hopefully they will.)

Cover it with another candle? Or a cloth?
