Candle Instructions

• The first burn should be for at least 2 hours to avoid tunneling.
• To increase burn time and minimise flame size - keep wick trimmed to 1cm before each lighting.
• To maintain an even burn - carefully push any unmelted petals into the wax pool as candle burns down.
• Ensure candle is on a level surface in a proper holder, large enough to capture any dripping wax.
• To extinguish the flame without smoking - dip wick into wax pool using an appropriate utensil and stand it back up for easy relighting.
