1. First Burn Matters
Let your candle burn for 2–3 hours the first time, until the top layer of wax is fully melted. This helps prevent "tunneling" around the wick.
2. Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch to reduce smoke and help the candle burn evenly.
3. Burn Time
Never burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Let it cool before relighting.
4. Keep the Wick Centered
After each burn, make sure the wick stays centered. This prevents the glass from overheating and ensures an even burn.
5. Stop Before the Bottom
When only ¼ inch of wax remains, it's time to stop. Burning beyond this point can cause the glass to overheat and possibly break.
6. Never Let the Flame Touch the Glass
Always check that the flame is upright and away from the container walls.
