Fimo - what happens if you just leave it and don't put in the oven?

[Sullwah]

ok - so we have a candlestick holder with large holder bits - too large for the candles we bought (and can't seem to find the right size).

So I stuck a bit of Fimo in to make them smaller.

But .... I can't get the Fimo out to oven bake it - if I just left the stuff in the candlesticks would that be ok?

1. Would it eventually dry?
   

1. If the candle burnt right down to the bottom - would that be ok? Or would it burn and produce noxious fumes?
   

Please no one tell me I should have bought another type of clay to use .... cos its too late ....

It's been years since I used FIMO and they might have changed it but I seem to remember open packs drying out and cracking. It'll go all crumbly eventually.
