Burning Tips
Burn candles 1 hour for each inch of it’s diameter to form a full melt pool (entire top of candle completely melted. Burning less time may cause the candle to core burn (burn a smaller hole down through the middle of the candle).Example: A candle which is 3 inches in diameter should be burnt at least 3 hours at a time or until a full melt pool is reached.
If a wick becomes too short to light, carve away enough wax to expose the top of the wick.Once the wick is exposed continue to trim an additional ¼ inch of wax from the top of the candle.Light the candle and burn as instructed above.
