AFTERCARE GUIDE
SCULPTURAL CANDLES
Our sculptural candles are designed for decorative purposes. While unlit, do not keep your candles in direct sunlight and keep them away from heat sources , to protect their beautiful shape & colour.
Before burning your candle, make sure you remove all packaging and trim the wick to 0.5cm for optimum burn.
WAX SPILLAGE IS EXPECTED, MAKE SURE YOU PLACE YOUR CANDLE ON A FIRE RESISTANT TRAY OR DISH , when you decide to burn them, TO PROTECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Don't burn your candle more than 2 hours at a time. If the candles drip to much, extinguish and let them cool before using again. Estinguish when 0.5cm of wax remains and do not relit. The remaining wax can be used in your wax melter / warmer to get the most of the scent. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets. Always keep 10cm distance between burning candles. Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire.

CONTAINER CANDLES
Burn times will always vary depending on the placement of your candle. Drafty areas will burn slightly quicker. Burn times will also vary depending on the height of your wick. The longer the wick, the quicker the candle will burn.
You can extend your candles burn time by burning the candles long enough to allow the wax pool to reach the edge. If you do not allow them to burn all the way to the edge of the container when you first burn them, they will begin to tunnel down into the wax instead of melting all the way to the edges.
Cotton wick:
1.Trim wick to 0.5 cm before burning your candle. You can use a wick trimmer, scissor or a nail trimmer, whatever works for you. This step will ensure a clean burn and no unnecessary smoke.
2. Only burn candles on an even, fireproof surface.
3. Only burn candles within sight.
4. At the first burn, make sure you get a full melted pool ( when the melted wax reaches the edges of the container). This step will help to get an even burn and prevents candles from tunnelling ( when the wax on the sides remains unmelted).
5. Keep candles aways from children & pets.
6. Do not light candles near anything that can catch fire.
7. Do not burn these candles more than 3 hours at a time.
8. Containers will get hot during the burn, do not move the candles while lit.
WOODEN WICK:
Wood wicks are a bit different than a traditional cotton wick- they burn longer, cleaner, and create a charming crackling sound. But, they do require a bit of extra care. ... The shorter the wick, the better the flame. If the wick is too long, it won't pull the wax and will extinguish quickly, or it will produce black smoke.
Since wooden wicks have a wide base, unlike traditional cotton wicks, they are able to create wider melt pools resulting in a clean, even burn.
Wooden wicks lend a clean, modern aesthetic and a unique touch to a candle.
1.Trim wick to 0.2cm before burning your candle. You can use a wick trimmer, scissor or a nail trimmer, whatever works for you. This step will ensure a clean burn and no unnecessary smoke.
2. Only burn candles on an even, fireproof surface.
3. Only burn candles within sight.
