For your first time burning your candle make sure it forms a complete melt pool. Usually 2.5-4 hours. Never blow it out before that forms to prevent tunneling. This sets the burn pattern for the life of your candle. Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
We use 100% cotton wicks so they will mushroom while burning, this is normal. Always trim your wick to 1/4” before each burn to reduce smoking. Never burn your candle near anything flammable. Burn on a flat surface. Do not burn near drafts. Keep your burning candle away from children and pets.
