Burn Testing Kit

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Burn testing is how you find out whether your candle is safe before a customer does. It is tedious, it costs wax and it is completely non-negotiable. The good news is that a proper test setup is cheap: sample packs so you can compare wick sizes side by side, a thermometer for repeatable pours, and a surface you are not afraid to spill hot wax on. Testing supplies. Wick sample packs. Wick sizes to compare. Trimmers for test burns. Thermometers. Work surface protection.
