Candle Testing & Wick Testing Overview | My Process for Testing Candles | Making Test Candles

Most new candle makers are told to test their candles. But, how? Why? In this video, I will discuss the 5 factors I evaluate when testing my candles. AND, then how I go about actually making test candles, burn time tests, etc. Lastly, I debunk a few candle testing myths as well. Thanks for tuning in and for your support!

This is most definitely THE BEST and detailed video I have seen..and boy have I seen videos and read anything anywhere I could. Thank YOU!!! You have assured me in a couple of details that I was worrying about..you have no idea how relieved I am.
I can't wait to get back to work. THANK YOU!

Great video, reinforces the fact that if you want to be a good creator it isn't going to happen overnight, like all good businesses it takes time and effort so for those in the same position as me (new to this) good luck, never give up and you will succeed

This is the most detailed and best video I’ve come across about candle testing. Thanks Wade!

If it wasn't for you, I would of given up on a candle business. Thank you Wade for all your knowledge

[Hooch]

Wade, technical expertise is no question. What should be addressed is your delivery of that info. As a newbie sometimes I have to listen 2x, but I’m getting there. Your thoughts and concepts are so well done, even I can grasp most. So much thanks, so much respect. Thank you

[gargeejagam]

The wick flickering is okay, thank for sharing this information. I would have otherwise wasted so much time and resources to get this right. Thank you so so much. Love all your videos and they are very helpful and informative for a business in the process of testing ❤

I love how Wade's videos make me feel like a genius. The first year of candle making can be very stressful 😫. This video just explained so much. Im way to picky about my testing. I guess that is a good thing though. Thx Wade! Just keep making em, we'll keep watching 👀😎

The explanation on the melt pool was super helpful! Too often I get a nice melt pool at 3 hours, but then testing days later I get different results. Testing is absolutely the hardest and longest process. And yet the most critical. Thank you for the wonderful videos you make for us!! 💞

I have been subscribed to your channel from the beginning. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being the best You Tuber candlemaker/instructor. I started making candles just for fun about 5 years ago. I haven't made any for over a year because my life has become a train wreck. And I moved back in March and can't find any of my notes, so I'm basically starting from scratch with everything. I've been rewatching your videos and am so thankful that you share your knowledge with all of us. From one Thomas to another, thanks again!!!

[karenssutphin]

He is so helpful and considerate, I love his videos

[RunAway]

It's so hard for me to sit and listen through a tutorial of significant length but I've learned it's gonna be worth it to hear what Wade has to say.. I'm like "Ok Wade said this may happen and when it does do this", and when I do, that's exactly what happens!! Lol.. Thanks, man! You have my trust...

[amarylliscruzjustiniano]

This is, by far, the best testing video out there. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[melissaledesma]

I'm rewatching this video. It makes more sense. Wade is so helpful

[Jspbusinesstalks]

you are just a blessing and l thank God for making you. l have learned so much from your wisdom

[RadiantbyNovaLee]

You are my go to for videos on candle making. You are informative and detailed with out a lot of extra bla bla. I find a lot of other people who create candle making videos are new themselves and don't possess the knowledge and experience that you do. Thank you for sharing as this would be even more frustrating and trying with out your videos.

[ginamarie]

Wade!! You’re the BEST! This is beyond helpful. My process? Lol kind of, well it seemed good but it’s not after hearing this. I need to do more. I’m definitely going to change the way I’m testing, it’s not enough. It will push my opening date more but I have to feel confident in my product. Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it so much!

[crystalawalker-selby]
