Question
I hate to ask, but I haven't found a reliable answer on the internet:

What is the total burn time of one of those tall 8" "jar" candles (candle is in a glass enclosure)?

Answer

Hi Emma
   Interesting questions. I make candles as small hobby. There many factors that effect the burn time of candles, mainly what kind of wax and container. I am guessing that kind you might be refering to is the kind my parish uses. I would say 8 or 9 days depending on wax type and glass type.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
