Jane42 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have been giving candles to people to try and would like to have their feedback. I thought I saw on this forum a "checklist" that someone could use to let me know how the candle burned, how large the melt pool was, etc. but I cannot locate it. Can anyone help me locate it, or give me your ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think that Candlecauldron also has a tester sheet too. If not, they still have lots of other great info, lol. Good idea giving the testers a sheet like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yup! Thoser were the questions on my test sheet. When I first post that, nearly a year ago, Alan contacted me and asked if he could post it in the right margin of others to copy or download. I give him permission to do it on the old boards but it never happened and a few months later, the boards crashed. Those were the questions asked and in the order they were asked in. Maybe one of the Mods will find the old test sheet and make it a sticky. I'm constanly getting PMs from people looking for it and then I either have to renter it or try to find in on the old boards. Sara or Robin~ will you sticky the tester sheet so that all who would like it can use it? It is my sole work and I give full permission for members of this board to copy and use it as they see fit. Thank You, Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I get constructive feedback from the people testing my candles? A. Print out this sheet or something similar and give to the tester with each candle.

sharyl55 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I thought you had given permission for Alan to post your Tester Checklist. That's why I copied it here. Glad that was OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
