Wick Testing & Batch Log
A candle that tunnels, smokes or throws nothing is a candle you already sold. Burn testing is the step that catches it, and the reason most makers skip it is that there’s nowhere to write the results down. These two pages are that somewhere.

What it does
- A print-and-use wick-testing log — one row per burn test for the wax and vessel, the wick series and size, the fragrance load, melt pool, flame and soot, hot throw and the verdict.
- A batch & cure log — one row per batch for pour date, lot code, candle type, wax and vessel, wax weight, fragrance and its rate, so a batch can be traced.
- A fragrance-load quick reference across soy, coconut, paraffin and beeswax, and pillar, votive, tealight and wax melt, with typical cure times.
- The wax-to-candle math — how much wax to buy for a target candle count — and the cure-ready rule: pour date + cure days.
- Prints on US Letter or A4 and lives on the pouring bench.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the calculators too?
These two pages record a test. The full workbook runs the studio — a fragrance-load calculator that doses every scent safely by wax and vessel, a wick-selection reference across the common series, a full burn-test system, batch and cure tracking, and a cost-per-candle calculator that finally prices what you pour.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse for every new scent and vessel — the owned system between guessing a wick size and testing blind.
A studio reference, not certification or safety advice. Fragrance loads, wick sizes and cure times are typical starting points — always follow your wax and fragrance supplier’s IFRA documentation and safety data, and burn-test your own combinations.
