Candle & Soap Making - Candles


Expert: Terry Knorr - 3/10/2005

Question
Which color candle will burn the fastest?

Answer
Hi Jenna!

I know very little about candlemaking, but will give you what information I have.

To my knowledge, the color of the candle has no effect on the burn time.  The physical size and shape of the candle will affect it's burn time, as will the type of wax used (The length of time a wax will burn is largely dependent upon it's melting point  -  the higher the melting point, the slower the candle will burn).  Also, the size and type of wick used will affect the length of time the candle will burn.

I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help in answering this question for you. Perhaps, another individual from allexperts could be of more assistance.  Also, if you contact some of the suppliers of candlemaking equipment advertising on the internet, you might be able to find the information you need.  

I hope this is of some help to you.

Have a Great Day!
Terry
