sells two types of candle wicks, those made from cotton and those made from metal. The metal wicks are more expensive, but they also burn longer.
Which wick you choose to use in your candles is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the look of cotton wicks, while others find that the metal wicks produce fewer sooty candles. If you are making candles primarily for decoration, then the cotton wicks may be the better choice. If you are making candles that will be used for burning, then the metal wicks are a better option.
Soy Candle Burn Time Chart
The amount of time a soy candle will burn for is affected by the size of the candle, the type of wax, the wick, and the climate. Larger candles will burn for longer than smaller candles. Candles made with harder waxes will burn for longer than candles made with softer waxes. Wicks with a larger diameter will burn for longer than wicks with a smaller diameter. And, finally, candles will burn for longer in a colder environment than they will in a warmer environment.
Based on these factors, the following soy candle burn time chart can be used as a general guide.
8 oz. candle: 50-60 hours
10 oz. candle: 60-70 hours
12 oz. candle: 70-80 hours
14 oz. candle: 80-90 hours
16 oz. candle: 90-100 hours
Candle Making With Crisco
Candles are a great way to add a touch of elegance to any space. They also make great gifts. If you’re looking to make your own candles, Crisco is a great option. It’s easy to use, and it doesn’t produce any unpleasant smells.
To make a candle using Crisco, you’ll need:
– Crisco
– Wick
– Candle jar
– Scissors
– Tape
– Safety pins
First, cut the wick to the desired length. You’ll want to make sure that it’s long enough to reach from the bottom of the jar to the top.
Next, use tape to attach the wick to the bottom of the jar. Make sure that it’s secure.
Then, use safety pins to attach the wick to the top of the jar. This will help to keep it in place.
Finally, melt the Crisco in a saucepan over low heat. Be sure to stir it constantly. Once it’s melted, pour it into the jar.
Let the candle cool completely before use.

How Do You Make Candles At Home
?
Making candles at home is a relatively simple process, and can be a fun and rewarding project. The first step is to choose the type of candle you would like to make. There are a variety of different types of candles, including taper candles, votive candles, pillar candles, and container candles.
Once you have chosen the type of candle you would like to make, you will need to gather the necessary supplies. The supplies you will need will vary depending on the type of candle you are making, but will typically include wax, wicks, a container, and scent (optional).
The next step is to melt the wax. You can do this either in a pot on the stove or in a microwave. Once the wax has been melted, you will need to add the wicks. You can do this by dipping the wicks in to the wax, or by using a hot glue gun to attach the wicks to the bottom of the container.
Once the wicks have been added, you can add any desired scent, if desired. Then, pour the wax in to the container, and allow it to cool. Once the wax has cooled, you can light the candles and enjoy!
