Visions In Wax “ Candle Burning 101”

1. The first time you light a pillar candle, burn it one hour for every inch or the diameter. This will allow the pool of wax to extend to the outside rim and will prevent your candle from forming a “ canyon” in its center. Burning your candle this way will also set its memory. Each time you re-light the candle it will remember to burn out to the rim.

2. Keep your wicks trimmed! ! This is essential for a clean, smoke free burn. Many people complain about candles that smoke and this can be eliminated by trimming the wicks ¼ inch every time you burn the candle. This is true for all types of candle.

3. When you burn a highly scented candle, sometimes “ mushrooming “ will occur on the wick. Treat this as a friendly reminder that you need to trim the wick.

4. Candles need to breathe. If you burn a candle in a small room, it is likely to smoke. Please consider the size of your room when you display your new candles.

5. Never “ blow out “ a candle. Blowing will spry the wax everywhere. The most effective way to extinguish the flame of a candle is to use a candle snuffer. If you don’t own a snuffer, place your forefinger in front of the fame before you blow. This clever trick means that the air will hit the flame from the sides instead of hitting it directly.
