Instructions for burning candles with Wooden Wicks
The best way to light wooden wick is to tilt the candle on an angle and let the flame draw across the length of the wick.
Give your candle sufficient burning time to develop a melted wax pool that goes to the edge of the candle vessel to establish “tax memory” on first use. This can take several hours.
Keep your wood wick trimmed to about 0.5mm after each use, and clean off any burnt wood from pervious use. If the wood is not trimmed short and clean, the wax can’t make it to the flame and your candle won’t stay lit.
A candle with sufficient time to form a full melted pool of wax may start to form depression or “tunnels” around the wick. This will eventually become too deep for fresh oxygen to flow in, and your candle will have trouble staying lit.
Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets. Use holders designed for the particular candle style.
Avoid burning candles near windows or air vents. The draft will cause the candle the burn unevenly.
Never leave candles burning unattended as a candle can light on fire due to a draft, it being knocked over, or by any other accident.
The candle should be completely cooled between uses.
The candle should be burned on a safe surface (avoid countertops in kitchen or bathroom).
