Tradition Candles
A few simple precautions will ensure the safe use of your candles and provide lasting enjoyment of the wonderful ambiance they create.
Storing Candles
• Heat and light can fade, soften, and distort your candles.
• Always store them in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Using Candles Safely
• To keep candles from smoking, trim wicks to 3/8 inch (10 mm) before each use.
• To keep from dripping, lighted candles should be kept away from drafts. A vacillating flame indicates that a candle is not burning properly due to a strong draft or wind.
• When grouping candles together, make sure to leave sufficient space between them so they don’t melt or discolour one another.
• To prevent a “tunnel” from forming in the middle of a pillar candle, let candle burn at least 1 hour for each inch of candle diameter. This will allow the pool of melted wax to reach the top edge of the candle and will increase its burn time.
• Using adhesive wax drops and candle shapers is essential to ensure that your candles fit candle holders properly and securely, and to keep them straight and stable.
• To bring back a shine to your coloured candles, rub them with a soft cloth or nylon stocking.
Safety Precautions
• Never leave a lighted candle unattended. Keep all candles out of the reach of children and pets. Always burn candles in a proper heat-resistant container or holder, and place them on a heat-resistant surface. Keep candles away from flammable materials, objects, or surfaces.
• Remove all packing materials from candles before lighting.
• Use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish candles and before trimming wick.
