Candle Care and Safety Tips
1. Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch. This helps ensure a clean, even burn.
2. Keep your candle free of wick clippings. Debris in the candle causes the flame to flicker to high, which can also lead to soot and blackening of the glass.
3. Your first candle burn is the most important. For the first burn, allow the candle to burn for 3 to 4 hours. Soy wax has a memory and the way you burn it will affect future burns. It is important to let the melt pool reach the edges of the jar to prevent tunneling of your candle for future burns.
4. The melted wax, not the flame, gives off the candle scent, which is why it is important to burn until you reach the full melt pool.
5. Always place your candle on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from drafts, out of reach of children and pets, and any flammable items.
6. Never leave your candle burning unattended. Avoid burning your candle for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time. Trim your wick after burning for 4 hours to avoid the flame getting to hot or to high.
We hope you enjoy your candle, as much we enjoyed handcrafting it!
