Candle burning instructions

1. After cold transport, it is a good idea to wait at least 2 hours before lighting the candle for the first time.
Cold causes the wax in a candle to shrink. Allow it to thaw and warm up in a warm home. Without this, the wax may separate from the jar walls, which may look unpleasant to some. Smelling an unlit candle immediately after opening is permitted. ( •᷄ᴗ•́)

2. Before lighting the candle, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm in length.
Just use regular scissors at an angle and carefully trim off just enough to leave a small tip. A wick that's too long will create a much larger flame than desired, start to smoke, and may also bend, fall, and sink into the wax, ruining the candle's appearance. Throw the cut wick into the mixed waste bin. ( • ᴗ - ) ✧

3. Burn the candles until they melt to the edges of the jar.
For small candles, this will take about 2 hours, medium candles - 3, and large candles - about 4. Of course, we don't ask you to set a timer or stopwatch next to each candle. ( •᷄ᴗ•́) Burning for 1 or 6 hours will also be fine, but too short a time can lead to a tunnel, and too long can cause the entire candle to burn out faster and drown the already oversized wick. So, take this with a grain of salt and burn it "by eye" rather than time. ( • ᴗ - ) ✧

4. Keep candles away from pets and children. Furthermore, do not place lit candles near flammable items and never leave them unattended.

5. When there is less than about 5-10 mm of wax left, we should not light the candle anymore.
The flame from the wick heats the wax in the candle, and when there's not enough of it, it will heat the jar much more intensely than usual. It's not a good idea to singe the area under the candle (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
