FlamingGlitter Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, I've been researching, pouring and testing candles like a crazy person in order to make my product the highest quality I can, but also make it as safe as possible (ain't nobody trying to get sued, amirite). In my research I've found plenty of resources, some more helpful than others, however I wasn't able to find a testing template that worked super great for me, so I made my own and wanted to share it in case anybody needs it/wants to use it. If you have any suggestions of what I might have missed or what else I could add, let me know. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SYvfDLarFZwzaGQM-j8D1U5IxCsnJUKU/view?usp=sharing Edited March 4, 2020 by FlamingGlitter 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to make this on 1 page instead of 2 halves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It‘s actually 2 full A4 pages, I made it this way so it can be printed double sided. The second page is really just for continuing to document burn cycles (you can add the numbers of the burn cycle and/or just print the second page if you need even more burn cycles) Hope that made sense 🙈 you can also just use the first page if you‘d like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I didn't see was room temperature. For the most part we wick for an average room temp, but if your room is warmer, or colder it will effect your test results.

It means ‚smoking‘ basically, and ‚Brenndauer‘ is burn time. Must’ve overread when I translated it because I use mine in German. Damn it, I‘ll fix it, let me know if you need an update. Sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new shop I've been in the past 2 years I've had to add a dehumidifier for the summer months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
