Clip your Wicks!

Yes, you read the title right! Clip your wicks!!!
In order for you to have a nice burning, even pooling candle with terrific scent throw, you MUST and I cannot stress the word MUST too often CLIP YOUR WICK!!!
Make sure before you light your candle each and EVERY time, you CLIP your wick to 1/4". WHY you ask? Heres why.....

First off, lets look at the safety reason... if your wick is too tall, then your flame is too tall, if your flame is too tall then there is a greater chance that your flame with come above the top of the jar, especially when you first start burning your candle, allowing the greater chance of something coming in contact with the flame, thus starting a fire.

2nd, if your wick is too tall, then it creates black carbon like substance on the sides of the jar, which is a pain to get off.

3rd. If your wick is too short, then it could cause your flame to be extinguished in the melted wax. if this happens, just use a knife and dig the wick out of the wax and relight.

So, if you keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" you will have a beautiful burning candle that will last you hours.

Proper Candle Burning

Most people when they burn a candle only burn it for a short time. The proper way to burn a jar candle is to initially burn it for 1 hour per inch of the diameter of the jar. (Ex)... If you have a 16oz Jar candle with the mouth being 3 1/2" in Diameter, then you need to burn it for a MINIMUM of 3 1/2 hours.
This will create an even melt pool and it wont tunnel down the center. After the initial burn, you may burn it for as long as you want... JUST make sure the top of the wax is completely melted, BEFORE you extinguish it.!!!
