Candle Safety Instructions & Tips

 Extending your favorite candles life to prevent tunneling & sooting.

Always Trim Wick & Check for Debris

• Before you light your candle.  ALWAYS trim the wick 1/4" inch before each use.
• Remove any debris, it will add more fuel ro the candle handle it's designed to handle, causing the possibility of flames.
• Wicks not trimmed or crooked causes uneven burning, flaring & soothing.  Extinguish candle immediately & and let cool for 2-3 hours.  Trim candle & relight.

First Burn is the Most Important

• Candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of actual candle size.(Example, 3 inches across should burn 3 hours.)  Wax should melt fully across jar.
• If a candle doesn't burn properly from the start it will create a "memory ring."   Memory rings occur when a candle burns unevenly, creating a tunnel-like shape that goes down the center of the candle.  As a result, wax around the edges of the candle remain solid & the candle starts to burn down the middle.  This causes uneven burn & less candle to burn properly.

Don't Burn Candle Too Long

• Burning a candle too long will cause carbon to collect on the wick, leading it to "mushroom".  This wick will become unstable & produce dangerously large flames.  This causes the candle to smoke & release soot.  PLEASE DON'T BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS at a time & at least two hours before relighting.

Keep Flame Away From Moving Air

• When burning a candle avoid proximity to air conditions, fans, crowded areas with people walking back & fourth.  Moving air can disturb the flame, resulting in those ugly black marks on jars.
