Make gifting that little bit more special with a message on one of our classic tin candles. Weight 250g Dimensions 7 x 8cm Burn times 30hrs + Candle Care Get it right first timeThe first burn is the most important. Candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of the actual candle size. Our 1 wick candle is 3 inches across should burn for 3 hours.If a candle is not burned for long enough to allow the wax to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring.” Once a candle has a “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel for the life of the candle. Always trim the wick and check for debrisBefore you light a candle, always trim the wick to ¼ inch and remove any debris left in the wax pool such as wick trimmings or matches. Any debris will add more fuel to the candle than it is designed to handle. Too much fuel can cause the flame to unexpectedly flare up or even start a small fire near the candle flame. Wicks that are left long or crooked can cause uneven burning, dripping, flaring and sooting. Trimming wicks will help prolong the life of your candle. Your candles will burn up to 25% longer if you trim the wick every couple of hours. Burning durationBurning a candle for too long will cause carbon to collect on the wick, leading it to “mushroom.” The wick will then become unstable and produce a dangerously large flame. Plus, your candle will start to smoke and release soot. It is recommended that candles do not burn for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting. Keep the flame away from moving air. When burning a candle, avoid proximity to fans, air conditioners, open windows, or crowded areas with people walking back and forth. Moving air can disturb the flame, resulting in those pesky black marks on the glass.
