To get the best out of your Ember Candles follow these tips:

Remember to place your candle on a plate or candle tray when burning as our wee skull guys can get a little messy when burning.

Never move or leave candles unattended while burning.

Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch to prevent smoking and carbon mushrooming.

Re-trim the wick before every use.

Burn in a draft free area clear of combustible material such as curtains, books, baskets, etc.

Candles should be spaced apart while lit to prevent uneven burning.

Keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

Always place candles on or in a non-combustible, heat-resistant base set on a level stable surface.

Extremes of heat and cold should be avoided. Do not store candles near heaters and never leave them in a hot car.


SOY CANDLE INFO...

MY CANDLE LOOKS FROSTY ON THE OUTSIDE.....

Frosting is a natural characteristic of soy, and is part of the soy experience! It is not a flaw, and it is strictly unique to pure soy candles. Often times it is called the "bloom." Actually, many customers are concerned if there is not frosting on their soy candles. It is a way that a customer can tell if their candle is really made with pure, all-natural soy wax. To minimize frosting, try to keep your candle out of direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. It is almost impossible to stop the soy wax from blooming. It's just one of the beautiful and natural features of this wonderful wax.

HOW LONG SHOULD I BURN MY CANDLE?.......

It's good to be concerned about the length of time a candle should be burned. First of all, soy wax has a memory and should be allowed to achieve a full melt pool on it's very first burn. If it is extinguished prior to allowing a full melt pool, all subsequent melt pools will not go past the first one.To create a full melt pool, burn the candle for a minimum of one (1) hour for every inch of it's diameter. All future burns should follow the first one's path and melt fully to the sides. And depending on the diameter of the container, those future burns should be no longer than four (4) hours. Just follow the rule for creating a melt pool to calculate the length of time a candle can burn safely.

MY WICK IS MUSHROOMING.....

A mushroom-type head that forms on a burning wick is a build-up of carbon. When manufacturing candles, candle makers have dozens of choices of wicks to choose from. Certain wicks, tend produce this effect when the candle is richly-scented. Usually, if a mushrooming-type wick is used, there is a greater benefit such as a slower burning candle.There is nothing wrong with a wick of this kind, it just may look a little odd. The size of the wick can be controlled by always remembering to trim the wick prior to burning.As with any wick on any candle, the carbon build-up can eventually fall into the melt pool and sink to the bottom. Allowing this to happen is not proper candle care and may cause a fire hazard. This concern can be eliminated by always keeping candle wicks trimmed to 1/4".
