When burning candles or any size one of the most important accessories is the holder. This can make or break your candle enjoyment.
All candles will burn longer and more beautifully if burned in a receptacle that is snug to the candle itself. Candles will burn on to themselves thus making them not only longer burning but a fabulous talking topic as the character of the candle takes place.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL BURNING OF CANDLES
1. Before the first burning, trim the wick to .5cm.
2. Next you have to decide what container to use. A common mistake is to choose a candle holder that is too large. To get the most from your candle, make sure the holder is a snug fit.
3. Light the candle. Allow the candle to burn until the melt pool reaches the edges of the candle holder. If you extinguish the candle before the fullest melt pool is achieved, it is unlikely it will use all the wax.
4. After 4 hours, extinguish candle. When you light the candle the next time, trim the wick to .5cm again.
Your candles will last longer and burn cleaner if you trim the candle wick. It is very easy to do and should be done every time you light the candle.
