How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim the wick to around 5 millimeters each time to maintain a clean, steady flame. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges of the jar to prevent tunneling. Avoid burning for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time. When extinguishing, do so gently and wait for the wax to cool before relighting.
