CANDLE CARE
Optimize the burn of your Spoken Flames candle
Rule #1
Keep your wick trimmed low, to about 1/8th of an inch
Your Spoken Flames candle is pre-trimmed and ready to be lit right out of the box; it's a great reference for how low to keep your wick. For all subsequent candle burns, be sure to trim your wooden wick to about 1/8th of an inch before lighting.
What does this do?
Keeping your wooden wick low ensures a healthy flame height and a steady burn each time.
Rule #2
Make your first burn the best burn
Your first burn should achieve a full melt pool—as in, the top layer of wax melts evenly all around. A full melt pool is typically achieved in three to four hours.
What does this do?
A full melt pool will prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn throughout the burn cycle of your candle.
Rule #3
Remember Rule #1 😉
Enjoy your Spoken Flames candle!
