How to Use the 2" Beeswax Pillar Candle
To make the most of your 2" Beeswax Pillar Candle, follow these tips for optimal performance:
Trim the Candle Wick
Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot buildup, and ensures a cleaner burn. Regular trimming not only improves the candle's performance but also extends its life. The cotton wick is designed to match the candle’s diameter, promoting an optimal burn and preventing common issues like tunneling, wax spillage, and wick drowning.
Burn Free-Standing
For the best performance, always burn your candle free-standing on a heat-resistant plate, saucer, or similar holder. Using a tight-fitting jar or glass holder can reflect heat back onto the candle, causing uneven melting and making the candle burn inefficiently. A free-standing setup allows for proper heat distribution, leading to a more even burn and a longer-lasting candle.
Burn in a Draft-Free Area
To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, always place it in a draft-free area. Drafts can disrupt the flame, causing the candle to burn unevenly and waste wax. When exposed to air currents, the flame can flicker and cause the wax to melt at different rates. Keeping your candle in a stable, draft-free environment helps maintain a steady flame and promotes even wax distribution.
Allow a Full Melt Pool
During the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt and form a full melt pool. This helps prevent tunneling, which can shorten the life of your candle. A full melt pool ensures an even burn for the remainder of the candle’s life, allowing all of the wax to melt evenly and reducing the chances of uneven burn marks.
