Pillar Burning Guidelines

When burning a pillar for the first time, it is important to give it a "memory burn". You should burn the candle 1 hour for each inch of its diameter. Example: a candle that is 3 inches in diameter should be burned for three hours to establish its "memory". This will allow your pillar to establish a full melt pool (increasing the scent throw) and leave a shell about 1/4 inch thick, so no wax can drip over the sides.

What will happen if I don't give my candle a proper "memory Burn"?

If your candle is burned for a shorter period of time, it will "Core Burn" down the center and a good scent throw cannot be achieved.

As the candle burns, it will begin to develop a "lip" or "shell". To keep the candle burning properly, you need to "hug" it, or cup the shell inward towards the flame. Gently press the sides of the candle toward the center, I do the front & back at the same time, then left & right side at the same time. This allows the candle to burn evenly and consume almost completely. Do this after you extinguish the candle, while the wax is still warm and pliable. Do not attempt while the candle is still burning. The molten wax is hot.

Before lighting your pillar be sure to trim the wick to 1/4 inch. This will help prevent the candle from smoking excessively. Before re-lighting again trim the wick to 1/4".

Check your candle periodically to see if the wick is centered and is the proper burning height. If not, extinguish with snuffer, then trim and center the wick as necessary.

Be sure to keep all candles out of drafts, away from any flamable objects, and out of reach of children.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Following these guidelines will provide you with hours of beautiful light and fragrance from our pillar candles.
