How Do I Calculate the Burn Time of a Candle

Before lighting the candle, use a scale to weigh it and find its total weight. Then light and let burn for 3 hours (assuming it's a 3 inch diameter candle). Weigh the candle again. Now you can calculate the burn rate. For example, if you have a 16 oz candle to begin with, and after 3 hours of burning it weighs 15.5 oz, then that means it burned .5 oz in 3 hours. Split that in 3, so in 1 hour .16 oz burned away. Now take your original total weight (16) and divide that by you’re per hour burn rate (.16). This would give you a total burn time of approximately 100 hours.

Note: Another guideline to remember is that a standard 2 ounce sized votive candle mold is rated as a 15 hour votive mold by the manufacturers. Divide by 2 and that would mean that each ounce should burn for about 7.5 hours. This can vary and will greatly depend on your formula, but you can use this as a goal to aim for.

Candle Burning Tips

1. Always trim wick to 1/4 inch before lighting candle.
2. Burning candles no longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time will increase total burn time.
3. Large diameter candles should be burned no longer than 2 hours at a time. This helps keep the sides intact, allowing the candle to glow from within.
4. If a candle burns unevenly it is in a draft. Rotate the candle 90 degrees periodically to keep burning uniform, or move to another location.
5. A teaspoon of water in the bottom of votive cups will help prevent overheating and ease removal of spent candle.
6. Snug a loose fitting taper in its socket by wrapping bottom of candle with tin foil. Never use a flammable material for this.
7. Container candles (jar candles, votives in holders, etc...) should be burned 1 hour for each inch of diameter. This allows the wax pool to cover the entire surface, and extends the burning time. 8. Refrigerating candles for a few minutes before burning extends burning time. Care must be taken since refrigerating for too long may cause cracks in the candle.
9. The life of large candles may be extended by placing a votive inside once the burn hole is deep enough. The votive can be wrapped in tin foil to ease removal.

Black Candles

Each color of candle symbolizes and creates particular mood such as love, happiness, anger and many more.Burning Black Candles seems to have a negative connotation associated to it. Many people (not all) associate black candles to witchcraft, evil and darkness, but yet it not considered evil or dark to wear black clothing or use black decorations around your house, or drive a black car. Black is very mysterious and because of its association with death, grief, evil, witchcraft and darkness- perhaps that is why many people shies away from burning black candles. I looked at Google search by someone on “black and white neutral colors meanings” there were close to three million responses. The bottom line is; it depends on who you speak too as to whether black and white are even true colors. But this is not about whether black and white are true colors but why so many people place a negative connotation on burning black candles. I believe since the demand for solid black candles is not in great demand the manufactures just does put a lot of effort into supplying them in large quantities.
