Candlelovr Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 One more question I have...How many of you marathon burn your candles? I usually will only test burn for the amount of time recommended (3" pillar test burn for 3 hrs) but I know some consumers out there will marathon burn a candle so it would be nice to know how the candle will hold up with a 6 or 7 hour burn. Do any of you do this or just stick to the recommended burn time? Thanks all, I appreciate your input!D- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candlelovr Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 What was your experience? Did you have any that bombed because they were burned too long? And what do you do in that situation? Wick down ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm just curious - have you done a search on marathon burns? I know there have been a million threads on the same subject - you may be able to find your answer there. Not trying to be rude, just a suggestion.

Scented Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 My experience was my candles survived. Now when I did it with palms, I sometimes had candles split or blow and those just went back into the pot and I tried again till I got tired of low-throwing palm.

PamR Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 When I test a pillar, I will stick to the recommended burning times for the first 2 burns. After that, I light that baby & lit it rip. Most times I will burn a pillar for 10 to 12 hours at a time with occasional wick trimming of course. But these are parafin candles, not palm.Pam R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
