Can't use my candler that I bought on my button eggs?

Exactly as AK said! Try a small LED light, try concentrating the light a little more (with fabric or whatever), try a darker room or try all of the above (err, to the right).

DONE ALL THAT--- IN FACT THATS THE WAY I CANDLE ALL MY EGGS--- DARK IF NOT PITCH BLACK ROOM, FOCUS BEAM DOWN, SUPER BRIGHT LED TACTICAL LIGHT. BUT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WORK ON MY EE EGGS--- TOO THICK I BELEIVE ( I SWEAR YOU COULD USE THEM THINGS FOR GOLF BALLS! ) ALSO MOST PHEASANT EGGS--- OR AT LEAST THE DARK COLORED ONES. AND THE MOTTLED EGGS LIKE COTURNIX AND BUTTONS. I'M LIKING THIS IR THERMOMETER IDEA THO....

I ALSO TRIED THE BRINSEA CANDLER WITH THE SAME POOR RESULTS. IF I AM WONDERING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT I FLOAT TEST THEM--- THAT AT LEAST WORKS.

I'm not sure what to tell you. I've never had any major issues with my mini mag. Check ebay for one of the temp gages, they had some on there for a buck (free ship), but I'm not sure if they'd work or not, as they were bigger than a keychain. Let us know if you do figure something out. If I have any other bright ideas (no pun intended), I'll speak up.
