| Q: |
How do I determine the burn time of my candle? |
| A: |
One of the important elements when marketing a candle (besides the candle itself) is the burn time. Each candle company has different burning rates depending on the waxes used and the size of the wick. In order to properly determine the burn time of a candle, the following procedure should be used:
- Light the candle and let burn for four hours. At the conclusion of this time, blow out the candle.
- Wait one hour. Then trim the wick and relight for four additional hours.
- Repeat this procedure until the candle is consumed.
- Record how many hours you burned the candle.
This will give you a standard burn time at which you can market the candle. Many times consumers will let the candle burn continuously. This will not allow the candle to obtain the maximum burn time. |
