Ah ha! Participating in the ol' "candle wax, flying squirrel and 2% milk" game, eh?

Try freezing it, and pulling it off while it's frozen. I've seen this work, not on suede though. Might be worth a try.

Let me know when you figure it out, because I would really like to know myself!

You see, I used to have a... ummm... water containing tobacco smoking device... yeah, that's it... that had a nice suede-covered base on it. Well, I let one of my not-so-bright friends borrow it one time. When it was returned I found wax all over the thing. Turns out the idiot couldn't find a lighter, and he kept burning himself with matches. So he got the bright idea of using a candle.

Well, we all know what happens when you tip a candle, right?

Use an iron on the backside of the material with a paper towel on the side with the wax. Worked for me last christmas
