When making your own soy candles in Melbourne, you have to make sure that they are safe. You can either make them for your own use or you can make them for a friend in Melbourne. But in either case, you have to make sure that it burns well, the wicker stick is proper and the fragrance is compatible with the soy candle.
How To Test Your Candles
When testing hand poured soy candles in Australia, you have to start by testing one at a time. This is because you are able to focus on the scent and burning patterns better. You have to light a candle and start taking notes on the testing procedure, scent and wick size. You have to start jotting down the amount of fragrance you used and the amount of dye that you used. You also have to write down the time that you started burning the soy candle. Then you have to record the end time of the candle burning session. You have to keep in mind to burn the candle for five hours straight in Melbourne, maybe even stop completely at four hours, if not the wick will get too long.
You will also need to write about how deep the melt pool of the soy candles in Melbourne were. You have to write about the melt pool before you finish the session. You must also indicate if the melted pool reached the edge at the end of the burning time in Melbourne. Next you have to make notes of the fragrance. For this you have to decide how strong the smell was say from a scale of one to five. After each of the testing session you have to allow the candle to cool completely, and then you have to trim the wick and start another session.
How To Identify A Good Candle
When testing a candle, you will know a poor quality soy candle the moment you light it. If you observe these signs like smoking, starting to mushroom and no scent even after burning for over an hour, they are good indicators that your candle is not doing well. You can stop testing and you have to make a note of it. Then you can melt the candle wax and start with another wick. If you feel that the melt pool is not deep then you can melt and try with a bigger wick from Melbourne. If you are re-melting the hand poured soy candles in Australia, you don’t have to melt it too much, and it should melt enough to be poured into a jar.
