  • Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4". This will eliminate the "mushrooms" which are carbon deposits caused by highly fragrant candles. They usually appear after a long burning cycle. Make sure that the trimmings do not fall into the wax pool. (This could become unsightly and could possibly become a fire hazard.)• When you light your Old Pine candle, it is important to allow it to burn all the way across. That is, light it and keep it lit until the wax across the top liquefies all the way to the edge. (Note: this may take a few burning cycles to achieve.) Every time you burn your candle, you will want to follow the same process. That way your candle will burn evenly and you will maximize your burning time. • If you are seeing soot on the jar, the candle is letting you know the wick is too long and it's time for a trim. • Never leave a candle unattended. • Never place candles directly above, under, or next to flammable items. |
