Frequently asked questions

Why keep a candle making log?
Candle making looks simple but is surprisingly technical — getting a clean, even burn with good scent throw depends on dialling in the right combination of wax, wick size, fragrance load and pour temperature for your vessel, and small changes make a big difference. A log lets you record each batch's 'recipe' and exactly how it performed (did it form a full melt pool or tunnel down the middle? was the scent strong enough? did it smoke or soot?), so you can troubleshoot systematically rather than guessing. The classic candle problems — tunnelling usually means the wick's too small for the vessel, sooting often means it's too big — become solvable when you can see what you changed between batches. It means you can confidently repeat the candles you love and improve the ones you don't. It's also essential record-keeping if you ever sell your candles, where consistency and safety matter. Always follow safety guidance for working with hot wax and fragrance oils, and test-burn candles before selling or gifting.
