Candle Care
To get the most enjoyment from your candle we recommend the following guidelines:
- Place on a fire resistant surface, never leave a lit candle unattended, keep away from pets and children.
- Trim the wick to 6mm before lighting each and every time to ensure your candle burns cleanly.
- If the wick is left too long the pure cotton wick will mushroom and cause smoking.
- Remember to trim the wick at least every 3 hours to prevent the above from forming.
- Be sure to burn your candle until the melted wax reaches the edge of your glass jar before blowing out or it will begin to tunnel. If this occurs simply use a hairdryer to level the candle again (if the wick is to short to stay alight simply heat some of the wax around the wick and tip out).
- Aim to burn the candle for a minimum of 3 hours at a time to create a wax pool to the edge of the jar.
- This way you ensure the candle burns evenly to the bottom of the jar.
- Blowing out before the melt pool reaches the edge of the glass can cause a tunneling effect.
- For safety reasons we recommend extinguishing the candle when it has approx. 2mm of wax left in the jar. If left to burn after the wax has all evaporated the metal wick tab can overheat and cause the glass to crack. The remaining wax can either be tipped out or washed out in warm soapy water.
- Once your printed Byron Bay Candles jar is empty you can use it over again with a candle refill.
