To achieve a higher scent and longer burning candle please observe these simple instructions.

• Burning Instructions
  
  The following burning tips will help you get the most out of your candles.
  
  Always keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch (6mm).
  
• Burning most candles no longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time will increase total burn time.
  
• If a candle burns unevenly it is in a draft. Rotate the candle 90 degrees periodically to keep burning uniform, or move it to another location.
  
• Container candles (jar candles, votives in holders, etc...) should be burned 1 hour for each inch of diameter. This allows the wax pool to cover the entire surface, improves scent throw, and extends the burning time.
  
• If you like a hollowing effect, large diameter candles should be burned no longer than 2 hours at a time. This helps keep the sides intact, allowing the candle to glow from within.
• Refrigerating candles for a few minutes before burning extends burning time slightly. Care must be taken since refrigerating for too long may cause cracks in the candle. 
  
• A teaspoon of water in the bottom of votive cups will help prevent overheating and ease removal of spent candle.
  
• Snug a loose fitting taper in its socket by wrapping bottom of candle with tin foil. Never use a flammable material for this.
