What are the actual testing requirements for candles?
There are many ways to test your candles that ultimately come down to your own criteria. Technically, there aren’t any rules or regulations for candle testing, but there is an Industry Standard for testing. It’s not the law, but it’s an awfully good thing to use when sizing your wicks.
If you're curious how to test candles or if your wick is good, look no further.
In this episode we’ll cover the ASTM 2417 Industry Standard Test (called the Candle Burning Performance Test) in detail so you know what to do before you sell any candles. Why should you care?
If something went sideways with your candle in the care of a customer, the courts will examine whether you followed practices typical of the industry… like this darn test.

Hey! Black smoke isn't a fail criteria in ASTM 2417, but SECONDARY IGNITION is... so if the candle starts on fire in a second place (either on the wick or lighting the entire surface of the candle top) - that's a fail! Black smoke is bad though too!

@gladystrujillo4309 3 года назад

These are by far the best videos I’ve seen. I’ve been testing for months and nothing seems to work. Then I saw a video where you explained that a full melt pool isn’t required in 2 hours and that FINALLY gave me some peace of mind because which ever wick gave me a full melt pool by then, was soothing by the 3rd or 4th hour. So thank you for all the information.

Just getting back into candle making after closing my brick & mortar shop a few years ago & being strictly online. I've been testing for the last few months for a fall launch. All was well until yesterday....I had a smoker! I rechecked my FO measurements & sure enough, my calculation was off & there was a tad much. If I hadn't tested, a customer would have gotten it. Thanks for the videos & helpful tips!

I am watching your videos daily as I learn the art of candle making. My first candle was essential oil and natural wax and it presented with many problems including wet spots, frosting and I just dripped in some oregano oil before doing any research on any of that and cooling etc ... I then, I found and followed your instructions to make a pure white candle.. Tomorrow's day 10... Came out beautifully, let's see how it burns. Sometimes we need to make mistakes to make the learning more effective. Long story short, thanks for your awesome technical videos with valuable expertise and insight shared with the world!

I have seen a lot of people in Facebook groups who just started candlemaking. I find myself worried to death about some of the products I see that they are putting out. Some of the questions that they’re asking (while they are already selling candles) is disturbing. Not gonna lie, I honestly thought I could just get some wax and wicks and some jars and get started right up in January. Now I think I’m gonna have to wait until February and that’s okay. I’m glad I found this channel and found really good information to protect people who may buy from me in the future!

@jenesaisquoishop3901 2 года назад

I know this video is a year old, but I hope you can help. I am using the ig 6006 wax unscented without dye. The 12oz libbey jars from candle science. I am testing wicks and can't find the right wick. Everything from black smoke/soot, mushrooms, little wax pool after 3 hrs burn. And flames that are too high/big and jumping, flickering. I have tested all wicks from eco, lx, CD, htp, and zinc. Knowing some were too small and/or too big. And none of them have worked. I have tested a total of 44 wicks. The first round was 14 and the second round was 33. Can you please offer some advice or suggestions? What am I doing wrong. So confused and frustrated... Thanking you for any response...

@gladystrujillo4309 3 года назад

Is there an ideal temperature of the melt pool? I’m using wooden wicks and I’m having the MOST DIFFICULT time wicking. I use small wicks to avoid overheating the container but the flames are dim sometimes and other times they’re great. Some wax is left behind but it catches up later and then the flames go dim again 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ please help. I’ve been testing them for many months and nothing gives 🥺

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

That's going to vary per fragrance blend, unfortunately. The reality is that some hold their carriage better in high heat and some don't. Top-middle-base note profile will help you understand if you'll be in the higher range, but I've had some that throw well at 140°F and some that throw well at 160°F. It's all up to your.... testing. At some point it's worthwhile to throw in the towel with that fragrance/wax/container combo and move on. Usually easiest to find a new fragrance. Some FO just plain stink for some applications.

@mahamyawar5193 Год назад

Hey, for how long do hand made candle making business people are suppose to test their candles? What does every test entail such as: that specific fragrance oil, wax, candle wicks? Also what’s the best type of candle wick to avoid black smoke and burning smell?

@MrHerks 3 года назад

When do you decide its time to throw in the towel on candles and just move on? I do wickless testing, 1 vessel, 2 different wax types, 10 different wicks and woohoo finally find one that I think works great, YAY!! So happy and excited! Proceed to make a candle with all the stuffs- the wick, dye, FO, all the works, let it cure, the day comes to light it, AND it sucks ;( This goes on for months, no luck, is it time?

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

That's one of the main drawbacks of wickless testing - previous burns influence the behavior of later burns, so wicks that seem to be awesome may have behaved differently due to how the earlier wicks thermally impacted the wax. You did the right thing - making a new candle with the apparently good wick, but it's not always a guarantee. I've had some work great, and I've had letdowns. For me, it's just continued iteration and eventually.... I'll move on from the FO since that's typically the prime suspect when I can't get it to work out.

@Zainpire 2 месяца назад

I don’t live in USA, but I plan on using this to test my candles. My main question is, are there any special criteria for pillar candles? The candles that I am making are all pillar candles.

@lehcar19991 3 года назад

When you curing your candles, when should the lids go on if the container have any

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

I typically recommend putting lids on after you can trim the wick, but I don't believe in any significant scent loss if you don't put lids on. If there is some, it's a tiny tiny fraction and no one can really measure that anyways.

@58lightred 3 года назад

Bit confused, so if i cure my candle, test and all seems great, if i don't sell the candle straight away, it might not perform well after being stored for weeks or months? Even after testing? Hope this makes sense!

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

Depending on your wax, it might be different after a drastically long period of time. For instance, vegetable waxes will continue to harden and *potentially* require a different wick. Not something I want to cause concern over - you only control the process until its out of your hands, and these impacts aren't super drastic that anyone should stress over them, imo.

@babydiamond1204 2 года назад

Is it a fail when the test is a candle tin that's double wicked, and has a full melt pool within 2 hrs? You can see through to the bottom of the tin

@angelk2551 3 года назад

Does this mean you have to test ALL the candle jars made or just the one jar from a batch of letsay 20?

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

I recommend testing one in every 100, or when you have a significant change in your supply chain (such as a new lot of wax).

@yaayass 3 года назад

Do you think the stick/stir material we use also affect the candle result? What's the best to use? Stainless or plastic? Pls advise. Anyway, great video! Subscribed.

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

Great question! Thanks for the sub. I always recommend a wider spatula made of anything that won't absorb anything. Number one rule in stirring is to avoid introducing air. Be gentle, not aggressive. As far as the final result, I really believe it's how consistent you keep the blend temperature and how much you can avoid air being introduced into your blend. Hope that helps!

@yaayass 3 года назад

@@ArmatageCandleCompany Oh well noted. Thanks! May I ask you more questions? you said on your videos about testing the candle (soy wax) ideally for up to 4 hours. How about if there is only 1/3 wax left on 8 oz jar, do I need to test my candle for 4 hours also? because I got a large melt pool for only 1.30 hours. I want to attach a picture, but I can't do it here. Btw, I'm using CD7. Pls, advise. Many thanks!

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

@@yaayass The industry standard in the US is to safety test from the very top of a candle down to the bottom or failure, 4 hours at a time. This includes the bottom 1/3 (which is notoriously difficult). A large melt pool isn't a problem by itself, but sometimes exists as a symptom of high temps. Check out this guide for more information (armatagecandlecompany.com/blog/basic-burn-test/) Best of luck!

@sofi4441 3 года назад

Please please give me a reason why every wick i use in my candle.is flickering? I have tested almost every eco and lx wick in my container and the flickering doesn' t stop. Please help me.

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

It's always air. I recommend most people worry first about temperatures and flame height before worrying about a flicker. Especially in container candles that are more than halfway consumed, the local air currents are wild and flickering is pretty much normal. If a candle has a lot of soot AND flickering, it might be time to switch wick sizes or series.

@HenrysGrandmaK 3 года назад

No mention of burn pool depth.. not that it is listed as a safety issue but isnt it notable regarding the wick being appropriate ?

@ArmatageCandleCompany 3 года назад

Personally I don’t think so. It’s more of a metric for hot throw, but convection above the melt pool makes a much bigger difference IMO.

@thenight5983 Год назад

I know he said it in the video ,but I didnt understand it so if the wax reaches room temperature we can re-light it or we should wait 3-4 hours and then re-light it ?

@tyggrlili26 Год назад

once the wax cools to room temp you can re light it. you want to test burn it again for another 4 hours. and repeat.

@brandylucas1783 6 месяцев назад

I can’t find video where you talk about first to text new waxes with wicks, without fo to get a base wick for that wax. I was wondering how long to let a coconut apricot wax when using this method. No fo, so can cure time be sooner?

@ArmatageCandleCompany 5 месяцев назад

Part of curing is the wax setting up too. You probably should still cure the whole length even if you don’t use FO. But your mileage may vary and many people in the industry are torn on whether you should/shouldn’t. I am team Fully Cure every time.

@Roxy__12 2 года назад

You didn’t mention no scent throw in the failing criteria

@ArmatageCandleCompany 2 года назад

I could have! The reason I didn't is scent throw is best tested in other ways that differ from a safety test. You might find the hot throw to be horrible, but your friends and family might find that same candle overwhelming (it's subjective and super weird...).
