The Smooth Taper Candle Set of 2 features a clean, tapered silhouette in a soft blue tone with a cotton wick. For an even burn, the first lighting should continue until the wax pool reaches the full edge of the candle, as wax retains memory of its initial melt pattern. Trimming the wick to 1/4–1/2 inch before each use helps maintain a consistent flame and prevents excess bloom buildup. The candles should be placed on a heat-safe surface, kept free of debris in the wax pool, and the base should be checked for additional safety and discontinuation guidelines.
For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind: The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has " memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future. Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any " bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length. Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool. Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface. Discontinue use when 1/2" of wax remains to prevent damages to surfaces. To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.
