If your candle starts to flicker, or the flame is too big or too small, then you probably need to trim your wick. It is good practice to trim your wick between each burn, keeping it at 5mm above the surface of the wax. Wick trimmers are ideal, but sharp scissors can also work well, but please take care. 

Burn your candle until it has a full melt pool (the liquid wax reaches the edges of your candle). This generally happens at around 3-4 hours into a burn. We would advise burning your candle for four hours at a time. Any longer and your upcycled glass container may get too hot and crack, and any shorter and your candle may start to 'tunnel', which is when the candle burns down in a ring and leaves lots of wax around the edges.

If, on your first four-hour burn, your candle melt pool does not reach the edges, do not worry, it will catch up later on. 

Burn in a safe place, away from children, pets and anything flammable. Always burn on a flat, heat-resistant surface and within eyesight. Don’t burn it too close to any other candles (we suggest at least 3 inches away) or near any draughts. 

Once you have 1/2 inch wax remaining in your container, leave it to set/harden and then carefully follow the refill instructions. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us!
Please only use the candle refills and containers as intended. Do not burn the refill as a stand alone candle, without a container!

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Cooler temperatures may cause wax to shrink or separate; warmer may lead to melting.
