Uncommon Scents Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 We made our first 3 candles and they look great and have an AMAZING cold throw... how long should we cure these before testing (I'm hoping they work well). So far all of the great words of wisdom I've read on this board have REALLY come in handy;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinME Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I wait at least 24 hrs before doing test burns for the wicks, longer to test the scents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowded House Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I usually wait 72 hours before testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I usually wait between 24-48 hours before I test burn candles. But, I am not a very patient person and can't wait to see how they burn and smell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
