Just testing my first batch now. I’ve either got a flare for this, or it’s beginners luck. No sink holes, no tunnelling, flame is sitting still not dancing around, 2 hrs of burning now and the melt pool looks wonderful. Waiting for a couple of days before been able to burn them was the hardest part of all for me. 🤣 Good luck everyone making candles 🕯 I’m having so much fun 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi! You were the first candlemaker I started following, last November. Thank you for the wonderful information you've put out there! Finally decided on my containers after deciding I didn't like 3 others (progress). I'm on my 3rd wax (only 1 slab of each wax) and really like this one (PB600; progress), so now comes full-on testing to nail down my base wicks. I got to the point of actually choosing to use the apple corer today, instead of burning them all the way down and waste more wax and time (that was a messy disaster for which I forgot to put gloves on 🤣).

I had been adamant from the beginning about not doing wickless testing because it will at some point float and get lost, which I figured would still leave me with having to redo it anyway leading to wasted time and supplies, so the tab & sticker made me feel more secure I guess. I'm now at that point of seeing (or maybe just hoping) wickless testing might keep my hair intact and tears still inside my head! And my wick tabs are still stuck at the bottom in all this wax 🤣 Progress?

I have generalized anxiety disorder and while I've actually very much enjoyed this constant science experiment, I'd like to not have any episodes or burnout and keep enjoying this! It's actually kinda funny that in school I didn't really like science (I'm almost 45 now) because I felt I wasn't smart enough for it or consider myself good at it at all (hated all math classes too) but love this and another science craft of meadmaking I took up many years ago 🤷🏼‍♀

Hey Patrick just wanted to say thank you for bringing up the industry standardized burn test, I've been digging through tons of content and not once on any YouTube video or things I've been reading have I heard of the industry standards and how to meet them. Thanks!

[katej.]

Thank you for this ! I just started making my candles and a lot of what you said I didn't think about. This was very helpful.
