How to make the candle burn evenly?

The first lighting of the scented candle is the most important. Be sure to burn as long as the surface of all the wax is parted (about 3 hours). Thanks to this, you will avoid the tunneling effect of the candle. Wax has the ability to “remember” the first burn, and if you put out the candle before the wax is completely melted, during the next burn, candle will melt till the same place.

Why doesn’t a candle burn out on one side?

Probably because the wick was too long and bent to one side. Before lighting the candle again, trim the wick to about 0.5 cm. If the wick in your candle is not clearly in the middle, move it. After the candle is extinguished, when the pool of wax is about 1 cm deep, try to center the wick using, for example, a toothpick. This will ensure that the heat from the flame will melt the wax in the candle evenly during the next burn.

Why can’t I burn a candle for more than 4 hours?

If you burn the candle for more than 4 hours, a “mushroom” will form on the wick, i.e. accumulated carbon. The flame may be too high and the wick too long, causing the candle to smoke.

Why is there discoloration on my candle?

Because it is made of natural wax, which, unlike paraffin or stearin, absorbs fragrance compositions differently. They can affect the appearance of discoloration, which, apart from visual effects, have no effect on the quality of the candle.

Why does the candle smoke?

The main cause of candle smoke is too long wick. As the candle burns, the wax in its vicinity melts, liquid wax is drawn into the wick to power it. If the wick is too long, the balance of heat and fuel will be disturbed. Then a chemical reaction occurs that can cause soot and smoke. In this situation, extinguish the candle and make sure that the wick is trimmed to about 0.5 cm.

Why does the flame in the candle flicker?

Probably because the wick in the candle is too long. Extinguish the candle and make sure the wick is trimmed to about 0.5 cm. Another reason may be exposure to a moving air source such as wind or draft. Under no circumstances should you burn a candle in such a place.
