FOUND-VESSEL CANDLE SAFETY CHECKLIST

FOUND-VESSEL CANDLE SAFETY CHECKLIST

Beautiful vintage vessels deserve thoughtful evaluation.

The Found-Vessel Candle Safety Checklist gives candle makers an organized process for screening potential vessels, documenting controlled burn tests, and recording whether a candle configuration should be released, retested, or rejected.

Created especially for makers working with found, antique, vintage, decorative, or repurposed vessels, this printable worksheet helps turn informal observations into consistent written records.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Candidate-vessel screening worksheet
• Material, construction, and condition checks
• Automatic-rejection guidelines
• Seven-cycle controlled burn-test log
• Space to record wax, fragrance, wick, fill weight, lot numbers, and testing dates
• End-of-life candle review
• Release, retest, or reject decision record
• Labeling and customer-instruction review

HOW TO USE IT

Print a fresh copy for every vessel style and candle configuration you test.

Record the exact vessel, wax, fragrance load, wick, dye, fill weight, and production details. Use the observation log during each controlled test cycle, document the results, and retain the completed worksheet with your candle-making records.

Repeat testing whenever an important component, supplier, formula, production process, or vessel style changes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Found, antique, vintage, decorative, and repurposed vessels were not necessarily manufactured or annealed for candle use. A checklist, inspection, or successful individual burn test cannot certify that a vessel is safe.

This product is an educational planning and recordkeeping tool. It is not a safety certification, legal opinion, laboratory evaluation, insurance approval, or substitute for professional guidance, appropriate testing, supplier specifications, or current safety standards.

When a vessel’s material, history, condition, construction, or heat performance is uncertain, do not use it as a filled candle.
