Question about burn time of candles

Hello, I work at a living history museum where I am often demonstrating candle dipping and I always get asked about burn time, I’ve tried to google my questions but a lot of the time the only thing I find is the stupid AI overview answers that got information from random places and incorrectly summarized it when I click the link that sites the sources (and I don’t trust AI). My questions are,

  1. How much longer do dipped candles last than poured candles of the same size?
  2. How much longer do beeswax candles last than tallow candles?
    I can’t test the answers myself because we don’t use pure beeswax, I don’t have any tallow and I also don’t want to wreck the molds we have because they are antiques. If anyone could help me answer these questions, that would be great. I don't want to give guests (especially kids on field trips) the wrong answer, and I hate saying I don’t know, because I feel like it makes me look stupid. Thanks!!!

I have a recital coming up soon and it said we are not allowed to wear sports bras (I don’t know why) I have a bigger bust and I’m not sure what to wear, and it has to be nude or white

So about three weeks ago, I got a filling done and the lady who filled it (not the one who drilled it out) was touching stuff with her gloves on and did not change them. She touched her Apple Watch. (which I would imagine is something super dirty because people wear them to the bathroom and you can’t really sanitize them) and also I think she was touching her earbud but did not change them afterwards. My filling is hurting worse and worse, and I’m going back today to see if there’s anything wrong with it. So I was wondering if that would be able to spread bacteria or anything like that and if I should bring it up today when I go. Also, is it normal to touch things without changing gloves?
