Round candles

How to prepare the round candles?
Remove all packaging material before burning pillar or grubby candles.
Only burn in a holder designed for the candles.
Never place any candle directly on furniture.
Burn your freestanding candles 1 hour for each inch in diameter and keep the wick centered. This allows the flame time to melt the wax to the outer edge.
Not allowing your candle to burn until the wax melts to its outer edge will cause the candle to core down the middle & shorten burn time.
Do not trim the wick too short or it will not generate enough heat to melt the wax sufficiently.
Keep your candle wax free of matches, wick trimmings & flammable materials
To extinguish a candle with little or no smoking: use a candle snuffer.
Dip the wick into the melt pool and then retrieve it. Wick will be primed and ready for next lighting. The wax on the wick will light quicker than a dry wick.
Do not burn in drafty areas.
Your candles will have a more even burn if you give them a little (about ¼ turn) about every hour or so.
Crooked burning does happen if the wick becomes off center. To rectify the crooked burning, you can use a butter knife to gently push it back to center. If there is a draft from a fan or an open window, rotating the candle can help the candle to burn more evenly.
