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,
- How much longer do dipped candles last than poured candles of the same size?
- 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!!!
