Wax & Wick Combination Tests & Results
One of the most complicated (and often frustrating) things about making great candles is getting just the right combination of wick and wax. Over and over you hear..."Test test test!" Well...to help us all from repeating each other's tests, and to keep track of these test results for everyone to read and learn from, I've created this directory. Please submit your own test results using the User Submission Form. The more and wider testing we can all do, the better!

Submit YOUR wax and wick test results!
There are countless combinations of wax and wick and containers or molds. When you do a test of a wick, wax and/or container, use the user submission form to give me your test results. I'll post them in the Wick/Wax table for others to use and learn from.
