1. First Burn Matters:
Allow your candle to burn until the entire surface melts (usually 2–3 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn.
2. Trim the Wick:
Before each use it's important to trim the wood wick to about 1/8 inch (3–5 mm). This keeps the flame at the ideal height and prevents excess soot or flickering.
3. Burn Responsibly:
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before relighting. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets.
4. Keep It Clean:
Always keep the wax pool free of debris like matches or wick trimmings to avoid flare-ups.
5. Burn on a Safe Surface:
Place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from drafts, curtains, or anything flammable.
6. Stop at 1/2 Inch:
Discontinue use when about 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating the vessel.
