Candle Burning - Trimming the Wick
Candle Burning - Trimming the Wick|
Back to Candle Articles
Trimming the wick of a candle is another very simple way to help make sure your candles last long and burn even. When you purchase a new candle, do NOT trim the wick yet. First light the candle and let it burn for about an hour. Blow out the candle and let cool for a few minutes. With a small pair of scissors, clip the wick so that it is about 1/4 of an inch or slightly more. Be carefull not to trim to much, or the wick may become covered over by wax. A proper sizec wick will control the flame better, and result in a longer lasting, more even burn of the candle. Browse Our Candles Here |
