Hi Stella :wave: Thanks for responding! I'm turning the candle, keeping it out of drafts and doing all that I should be doing to make for an even burn. I haven't had to do that too often, though and it's been awesome. BUT...... my "marathon burns" are done as a test to simulate what a consumer might do......a consumer who didn't know the proper way to burn a pillar. So, I light it, don't turn it and let'er rip! So, I guess my question should be: Do you make your candles geared more to the consumer who doesn't follow directions?...or do you make your candle assuming that burning instructions will be followed (i.e...keep out of drafts, turn pillar, blah, blah, zippity-doo-dah....)? Thanks again!
