Trimming the Wick
We have all heard that 'trimming the wicks' are a very important part of having a candle but why? Trimming our wicks ensures the cleanest burn possible and avoids smoke emissions, wick mushrooming (gathering at top of wick which can cause wick debris to fall and may be hazardous) and may also cause debris.
Tips:
These simple tips will keep your candle looking beautiful, burning more consistently and keep your environment safe while burning.
Burn Time
To get the maximum burn time out of your new candles I would recommend you burn your candle for one hour for every 2.5cm of diameter of your candle (for your first burn). This will ensure the candle pool will extend to the outer rim of the vessel and will create the candle memory so it burns to the rim every time.
Although burn time may vary due to atmosphere/ conditions, it is very important to stick to a maximum burn time to avoid over burning which could avoid excessive heat build-up and also wick mushrooming.
I would suggest a burn of no more than 3 Hours to avoid any of these problems.
