Pro Candle Care: Stop Tunneling and Black Smoke
Trim The Wick to 1/4" (6mm)
Long wicks create mushrooming carbon balls, flickering, and black soot marks on your wall.
The First Burn Memory Ring
Always let the candle burn for 2-3 hours until the entire top surface liquefies to the edge of the glass, preventing deep "tunneling".
Snuffer vs Blowing Out
Use a bell snuffer or wick dipper to extinguish the flame without spreading unpleasant smoke through the room.
