Firefly Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello,Is there a general rule of how long a candle will burn based on diameter and depth of candle? I make container candles and usually always test them to figure out burn time but in the case of my 8 oz square mason jars I can't do one continuous burn for those. I used 70% CB Advanced and 30% 4786 paraffin and a 44-28-18 C wick.I know it depends on wick, wax, scent etc. but just wondering if I can get an idea of how long to expect this one to burn. Prior to the 8 oz jars I was always making smaller container sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
