| Burning
Tips |
|
| 1. |
When
the wax pool reaches the candle's edge, extinguish flame and allow candle
to harden before relighting. This will prevent dripping.
Burning your candle this way will also set its memory. Each time you
relight the candle it will remember to burn out to the rim. |
|
| 2. |
Keep
the wick trimmed to one-quarter inch every time you light the candle.
This will ensure clean, smoke free burning. Be sure to remove any
wick debris that has fallen into the candle. |
|
| 3. |
You
can keep your candles smooth and silky looking by gently rubbing them with
ordinary nylon stockings. This will remove any scratches. |
|
| 4. |
To
guard your candles against fading, avoid placing them in direct sunlight. |
|
| 5. |
Before
slipping a votive into a votive holder, drop a teaspoon of water into the
cup. This way when you want to remove the votive candle to replace
it with another, the candle should slide out easily. Plus, you won't
struggle with it and risk damage to the holder. Check periodically
to make sure there is still ample water remaining in the holder. |
|
| 6. |
To
remove wax from washable fabrics, scrape off excess wax and run boiling
water through the material. Remove wax from holders by running very
hot water over them. |
