In a survival situation, such as an extended power outage, this can help you keep light longer. I tested this out for myself, and my candle did burn longer. The flame burned smoothly and didn’t dim once I figured out something.
There was one tiny problem I went into while testing this. For my experiment, I took two tea candles and put salt directly on one. The salted candle didn’t lite, and when it did, it was very dim.
So, the solution to this was not putting too much salt and clearing the wick area. After that, it worked like a charm and burned for sixteen hours and nineteen minutes.
Now, how did I actually apply the salt? I got 1/8 of a teaspoon of salt for my small tea candle – your candle may be larger, requiring larger amounts of salt. Next, spread the salt around in the wax, and you’re all set!
When I did this experiment, I used iodized salt; if you use a different kind of salt, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Thank you for the information. It was very helpful. Much appreciated
Definitely have to try your idea today. Sounds like it will definitely help extend the life of the candle. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Some very useful information. I’m going to try it.
