Online Scented Aromatherapy Candles

~~The first time you burn a candle can determine how it will burn thereafter.

~~Before lighting, trim the candle wick to a 1/4".

~ ~After lighting the jar scented candle, allow the wax to pool and form a well within a 1/2 to a 1/4 inch (depending on candle size) of the candle edge. This will usually take about 2-3 hours or burn about 1" in width per hour. As the candle burns, center the wick in the wax pool so the candle will burn straight down.

~~ Extinguish the flame and allow the candle to cool before relighting. Keep burning in this manner and your candle should have a long burn life.

~~ALWAYS trim the candle wick to approximately 1/4" before relighting.

NOTE: If you only burn a candle for a few minutes at a time, the candle will slowly drill a small hole in the candle core and eventually run out of oxygen and burn poorly or not at all.

Best Way to Blow Out Scented Candles

To blow out a candle, hold your finger in front of the flame and gently blow. This will cause the air to flow around your finger and extinguish the flame without splattering hot wax.

Avoid Smoking and/or Flame Torching

To avoid a large flame or smoking, never burn a jar candle in a draft and keep the candle wick trimmed to a 1/4 inch.

To neatly trim a wick, allow the wax to cool, then hold the candle upside down and trim the wick to a 1/4 inch: this method prevents wick trimmings from accumulating inside the candle.

Remove broken wicks, matches, or other material from the wax pool as foreign objects can act as additional wicks in the hot wax and cause extra flames.
