Who this candle making log is for

This log is for candle makers, from hobbyists pouring their first jars to small businesses selling at markets and online. It suits makers experimenting with wax, wicks and fragrance blends who want consistent, safe results. Candle making involves many variables, and recording every recipe, batch, cure and burn test is the only reliable way to repeat a great candle and fix a bad one. It also helps makers preparing to sell, since tested recipes and costs are essential for safe, profitable products.

How to use your candle making log

Write each candle recipe with wax, fragrance load and wick. Record every batch with temperatures and notes. Test burn and record results. Track curing time. Keep fragrance, wax, wick and vessel inventory current. Collect scent blend ideas. Calculate cost per candle, track orders and follow the studio safety checklist. Change only one variable at a time when testing, and label every test candle with its batch number.
