How long does it take for 3 inches of candle wax to dry?

Candle wax does not dry; it solidifies as it cools down and hardens. The time it takes for 3 inches of candle wax to solidify can vary depending on factors such as the type of wax, room temperature, and air circulation. Usually, it takes about 1-2 hours for candle wax to harden completely.


What kind of wax does a candle maker use?

Candle makers typically use paraffin wax, soy wax, beeswax, or palm wax to make candles. Each type of wax has its own unique characteristics and benefits, so the choice of wax depends on the desired qualities of the final candle product.


Where does water vapour from a candle come from?

The heat from a candle is stored in the chemical bonds of the oxygen and the candle wax. When you use a match to light the candle, you are activating the chemical reaction between the oxygen and the wax, which releases the energy stored in the bonds of the wax and oxygen. The products of the reaction, carbon dixode and water, require less energy for their bonds. So, all the extra energy that was stored in the wax and the oxygen is released to the air around the candle (the extra air that's not being used to react with the wax). Remember, if you put a jar over a candle, it will go out because it runs out of oxygen to react with.

The candle wax melting exposes the wick, where the actual burning takes place. Oxygen in the air combines with the vaporized wax in the wick, generating heat and giving off carbon dioxide (also traces gases and often carbon soot). (see related link)


Why does candle wax evaporate when the candle is burning?

How does an ear wax candle work to remove ear wax effectively?

An ear wax candle works by creating a vacuum that draws out ear wax when the candle is lit and placed in the ear. The heat from the candle melts the ear wax, which is then drawn up into the candle as it burns. This process can help to remove excess ear wax effectively.
