Even though these candles are "seconds," they still deserve the same careful handling to ensure a safe, long-lasting, and enjoyable burn. Follow these guidelines to get the best out of your mystery box treasures:
Burning Your Beeswax Candles:
Initial Burn: Allow your candle to form a full melt pool across the surface during the first burn. This prevents tunneling and encourages an even burn in future uses. For candles with a 2" diameter, burn for 1-2 hours; for 2.5" diameter candles, allow 2-3 hours.
Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This supports a clean, bright flame and prevents the candle from burning too hot or creating excess smoke.
Candle Hugging: As your candle burns, gently hug or fold any soft edges towards the center. This helps make the most of the wax, extending burn time and keeping the candle’s shape.
Placement: Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, holder, or plate to catch any drips. Keep candles away from drafts, vents, or air currents to ensure an even burn and prevent uneven melting.
Safety Tips:
Never Leave Unattended: Stay in the room while your candle is burning. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
Keep Away from Flammables: Position candles far from furniture, drapes, carpets, books, and any other flammable items.
Out of Reach: Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to put out the flame. This helps prevent wax splatter and minimizes smoke.
Cool Before Relighting: Let the candle cool completely before trimming the wick and relighting.
By following these care tips, you'll get the most out of your beautiful beeswax candles, preserving their charm, warmth, and longevity. Enjoy the natural beauty and cozy ambiance they bring!
