Follow a few simple steps to make the most of your candles!
Always place free-standing candles on a suitable candle holder.
For container candles, the duration of first burn can change how the candle will behave. It is especially true for harder waxes (like paraffin) but applies for this candle, too. Your first burn should be around 3 to 4 hours. Wax has memory and if you do not allow for a big enough first melt pool, the candle will start to tunnel. At the same time, with this rapeseed candle it is ok to see a layer of wax on the walls for the first few burns. The inside of the glass vessel will grow hotter and hotter as the flame descends, and will eventually dissolve the remaining wax.
The wick of this candle likes to be trimmed! You can use scissors, or just snip it off with your finger before you next light it. Our rapeseed candles can handle having their wick trimmed down to 4 mm long, and will appreciate it. Doing this regularly will prevent flickering and sooting of the flame.
