Hints and Tips:
Avoid handling the candles in the painted areas. Even when wrapped, the paint may be affected. When not wrapped, the oils from your hands may cause flaking on the candle.
Place the candle in an area free from drafts. The first time you light the candle, allow it to burn until the entire wax covers the top of the candle. This "breaking in" process insures that the candle will perform better and more evenly throughout the life of the candle.
To extinguish a candle, dip the wick into the liquid wax using a non-flammable instrument. This technique eliminates smoking.
The wick is designed to produce a small black carbon cap at the top of the wick as it burns. This is normal as it helps radiate heat to the edge of the candle. You should not trim the wick nor touch it while it is cold! After extinguishing the flame, it is best to remove carbon deposits or other foreign materials from the liquid wax when possible.
Votive burning is fun, however the clean up of the dish is frustrating and time consuming. Eliminate this aggravation. When the votive candle is extinguished, allow the wax to solidify. Simply place votive dish in the freezer. Once thoroughly chilled, gently push on the wax and the contents should pop loose.
Should your candle burn unevenly due to a draft consider this. Carefully push the wick towards the higher side. If this causes dripping, extinguish the flame, let it cool for an hour, then relight the candle. Repeat this practice a many times as needed and the candle will repair itself.
