Hillary Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have a newbie question for you. Is there a 'proper' way to test for burn time on a candle? I know in testing for general performance I like to check a variety of conditions. ex- I burn for a short period then longer, or near a draft, without trimming wick, etc. I try to imagine what the customer will do. However, I don't know how I should test for the length of burn time. Would I just log the time I burn each time, or should the candle stay lighted for say 2hr periods each time?

Molly Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I log the actual amount of time each time I burn it. Usually I've burned a couple of candles before I'm doing one for burn times, one that I burn properly and the other that I idiot burn, so when I burn for burn times I don't necessarily burn it the exact same amount of time each time.
