candle care

    because they won't take care of themselves

    WOOD WICKS

    *

    wooden wicks require slightly more maintenance than traditional cotton wicks.

    All wood wicks are cut from untreated wood which means that slight variances in thickness and grain can be expected. This means, no 2 wood wick candles are identical so they may have a slightly different burn.

    Read more below for tips to care for your new candle.

    .

    STEP 1:

    allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the jar, both on the first burn and consecutive ones! (this may take a few hours)

    .

    STEP 2:

    on every new burn, trim wood wick to 1/8". the shorter height allows the wax to capillary up the wick to feed the flame properly.

    .

    STEP 3:

    do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. it's time for a new candle when there is 1/2" wax remaining!

    STEP 1:

    The first burn is the most important. It sets the tone for all burns after that. Allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the jar, both on the first burn and consecutive ones to avoid tunneling.

    STEP 2:

    on every new burn, trim cotton wick to 1/4". the shorter height allows the wax to capillary up the wick to feed the flame properly.

    .

    STEP 3:

    do not burn the candle for longer than 4 hours at a time & please burn on heat-safe surfaces only.

    .

    STEP 4:
    Once candle is finished, clean & preserve your jar for decor & storage.
