Collection: How to use
Wooden Wicks Your wooden wick will be the right size when you use it first time round. If it does not light up after the first time, you may need to trim your candle wick (trim the black burnt ashy part) to just over half a centimetre. We use a wick trimmer but a pair of scissors or nail clippers will do the job.
It is not the wood fueling your candle flame but the wax. The flame is drawing the wax upwards through the wick so if it's not trimmed short and clean, the wax can't make it to the flame. Always trim the wick when the wax is cool to avoid bits of ash or wick left in the wax. After trimming, clean off gently any charred bits .
Burn the candle for at least 1-2 hours to allow the wax to pool to the edges of the jar.
Safety first. Never leave a candle burning unattended, and don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
Stop burning your candle when only half a centimetre of wax remains.
