Look after me
-
Natural bloom (a white, powdery film) may form on beeswax. This is not a detect, it is a sign of pure, unadulterated beeswax.
-
Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting to prevent smoking or flickering.
-
On first burn, allow wax pool to reach the jar's edge (about 1 hour per inch of diameter) to prevent tunnelling.
-
Burn in 1-3 hour sessions. Aviod exceeding 4 hours.
-
Extinguish with the snuffer or soft blow to avoid hot wax splatter.
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent excess bloom or warping.
-
To clean up spilled beeswax, use warm soapy water or place a paper towel over the spot and warm with a hair dryer or iron (low heat).
Keep it safe
-
Burn only within sight: an unattended candle may tip over or ignite nearby items unnoticed.
-
Keep away from children, pets, curtains, paper and furniture: these common fire hazards can easily catch flame.
-
Light away from fans, windows and doorways: darts cause uneven burning, smoking, or blow debris into the flame.
-
Keep wax pool free of matches, wick trimmings or debris: foreign objects can overheat, catch fire, or cause wax to splatter.
-
Stop burning with 1/2 inch wax remaining to prevent container overheating: too little wax can overheat the container or surface, risking fire or cracking.
-
Never use water to extinguish, wax may splatter: water makes hot wax splatter violently and may crack glass containers.
-
Do not move candle while hot or lit: spilled hot wax can burn skin or ignite surrounding materials.
