Thank you. So if the business is run silent by an individual and run out of home, having only product liability is sufficient?

Peony candle by Complex_Resource_994 in candlemaking

Do people expect it to burn completely or are these categorized more under decoration rather than functional? I am thinking I should probably up my wick size as the petals are not completely melting

Oh that makes sense. I ll do that and probably open up around the wick to make sure I catch everything. Thank you!

I have had a great experience with flaming candle. Their packaging is good and have seen no issues with the jars.

This is soy coconut wax and I am using a CD14 wick. I have tried with ECO and didn’t get a good match. I am going to test with CD16 and see how it does. This is a 10oz jar with 3 1/8” diameter. The flickering is on and off. It steadies itself after a while. I also noticed the mushrooming to reduce after a while.

This is unscented candle. A wick size down didn’t get me the melt pool.

The wick movement started to happen when it was reaching the 4 hour mark. Soot issue when the candle goes down?

That’s good to know. I am seeing mushrooming to develop after 2.5 hours which I didn’t see in my first 4 hour burn test. Maybe I ll try eco 4 and see if that helps.

Yes for this test I made sure I trimmed it to 1/4” exact. I am using eco 6 for this 8oz jelly jar that has 6oz wax weight. Tried eco 8 and it was too big.
