Burning your Whimsy Candle is much more than lighting the wick. Please follow our candle burning tips and they will help extend the life of your candles.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended!
- Keep your burning candles away from children, pets, and flammable objects such as curtains, walls, blinds and aerosol cans.
- Make sure your candle is on a flat, non-flammable heat resistant surface.
- Keep your candle free of any wick trimmings and other foreign matter. Debris in the melt pool will cause smoking.
- You may develop a carbon buildup (mushrooming) on your wick, extinguish the candle, and trim the wick to 1/4 inch. This will eliminate smoking and lengthen the burn time of the candle.
- Allow the candle to cool before trimming the wick.
- Avoid walking with lit candles.
- Keep your candle out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
- Always burn your container candle at least 1 hour per inch for each diameter of the container. For example, if you have a 4" diameter candle container, you should burn it for at least 4 hours before it is extinguished. Burning less time will cause the candle to form a hole right down the center of your jar and shorten the burn time of your candle.
- Do not allow your candle to burn completely down to the bottom of container - container may crack or break. Candle should be extinguished approximately 1/2 inch from the bottom.
- For safety's sake, do not allow the flame to touch the sides of the container. When the flame is in direct contact with the glass, the container could break.
- Containers may become very hot. DO NOT attempt to move until the container is cooled.
- Allow the candle to cool before replacing the lid on the container.
- Hot candle containers can damage furniture. Always place your candle container on a flat, nonflammable heat resistant surface.
- All candles, especially highly scented ones, will produce some smoke and soot, but proper burning techniques will help eliminate this problem.
- Votive candles are designed to liquefy into a pool of wax and they should always be burned in a tight fitting votive holder. A snug fit, in a flat-bottomed holder is recommended to insure the proper burning time.
- If necessary, always remove the metal wick clip and the bottom burn labels before adding a new votive to the holder.
- Never burn the votive completely to the bottom. Always leave 1/2" of un-melted wax. This will prevent the wick from falling over to the side of the votive and causing any possible breakage.
- To remove wax from containers, place container in a sink of hot water. This will loosen the wax and cause it to pull away from the sides of the container.
- Rotate your candle if you see it is not burning clean down the edge. A small draft could cause the candle not to burn properly.
