Candle Burning 101
THE BURN
Approximately 1oz of wax is burned every 4-6 hours based on each burn cycle and container. For the first candle light, we recommend burning for 2–4 hours, and at least 2 hours each time after to help maintain an even wax pool.
THE MELT
We fill our vessels to the top — no half measures here! Since our wax burns at a lower temperature, some of the vintage vessels may leave surplus wax, especially in larger or uniquely shaped vessels. As the flame lowers into the vessels, the heat will melt the wax along the sides.
Safety First
Place your candle on a level and heat-resistant surface, away from anything that can catch fire and out of the reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended - let’s keep the vibe calm and the space safe. Always burn your candle in a draft-free area. And remember: these vessels were not originally designed to be candles, please show them a little extra love when burning.
THE WICK
Not all wooden wicks are created equally, some burn brighter than others, so trim your wooden wick before each burn to keep the flame just right — about 1/4” tall avoids excess smoke and flickering… Unless you’re into that sort of thing.
THE END
Stop burning your candle when about 1/2" of wax remains. This helps protect your vintage vessel. When ready, we can refill you candle, or you can easily wipe the soft wax from your vessel and repurpose!
