After thoroughly testing the candles from the past few weeks

After thoroughly testing the candles from the past few weeks, itโ€™s time for another round. This time with different wicks, since the last ones tunneled. This time, they have a marble look. So Iโ€™m staying hopeful and looking forward to the next burn test. Nachdem ich die Kerzen der letzten Wochen ausfรผhrlich getestet habe, ist es Zeit fรผr eine nรคchste Runde. Diesmal mit anderen Dochten, da die letzten Kerzen getunnelt haben. Diesmal im Mamor-Look. Dann bleibe ich mal hoffnungsvoll und freue mich auf den nรคchsten Brenntest. #candlemaking #candles #smallbusiness #candlebusiness
