Testing Candle Wicks

4 Wick Testing Mistakes to Avoid 🕯️ 1. Skipping Wick Trimming Untrimmed wicks cause mushrooming, soot, and unreliable burn tests. Always trim between burns. 2. Using Wicks That Burn Too Hot A container that’s too hot to touch? The wick might be oversized, posing a safety risk. 3. Ignoring Flame Behavior Watch for tall flames, flickering, or smoke—they’re signs of a mismatched wick. Document everything! 4. Testing Just One Candle Per Wick Size Burn results can vary, even in the same batch. Test multiple candles to ensure consistency.
