Candle Care
NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED
Here are just a few tips to help you have a long
burning candle. Also continue to read to find out that you don't
have to throw the leftover wax away!
Always place candle on a heat resistant surface. Always keep
the wick trimmed to 1/4". Check often to eliminate high
flame and smoking. These type of "Food Candles" tend
to lose their shape and require "hugging". Simply
hug your candle with your hands to keep the shape of the candle
together. Remember that there is HOT liquid wax that may leak
out so use caution when hugging your candle. Never allow your
candle to burn for more than 2 hours at a time. Your wick may
develop a mushroom. This is a friendly reminder that you have
purchased a HANDMADE, HIGHLY SCENTED candle. You will need to
trim your wick back to 1/4".
Want to blow out your flame and never get another smoky yucky scent
into the air? OK...just take your scissors or a piece of metal or
clippers or whatever you can find to do this with and DIP your wick
into the melt pool...real quick...this will extinguish the flame and
if you do it quickly you will not see ANY smoke into the air...and
your scent from the candle will linger on instead of the smoky blown
out wick!
Don't know what to do when your candle can no longer burn? Buy
an electric potpourri simmering pot. They look like mini crock
pots. You can purchase these at Wal-Mart. The melted wax
will eventually lose it's scent. Make sure to pour the old wax
into a disposable container such as an old pickle jar. Wipe
your pot out while it's still warm with a paper towel. Then
you can pop in a new "leftover" candle! Enjoy and
remember that these candles are poured "One Atta Time" by
Primitive Pickenz!
