Cut the wick to a 1/4" before lighting

Make sure there are no drafts in the room from open windows, fans etc, when burning a candle. This will ensure that the candle does not drip. You will get a longer burn time if you don't let the candle drip.

When you are ready to put your candles in a candle holder it is important that they be securely attached. If the candle feels loose in the holder an easy way to attach it firmly is to use a flame to lightly heat and soften the bottom of your candle. Hold the flame just below the candle so that the heat will warm it up slightly. This will only take a few moments to work. Don't hold the flame directly on the wax as it will discolor the candle. The wax might drip so do it over something like newspaper to ensure you don't end up with wax on your furniture or floor. Once the wax is shiny extinguish your flame and immediately place your candle in any holder of your choice and press down firmly. As the wax cools the candle will remain secured into place.

Always burn your candles on an even level surface

BLOOM

Candles that are made from 100% beeswax will sometimes develop a white layer on the surface of the candle called bloom. This can occur when candles have been stored in colder temperatures and it is a natural process where the oils in the wax migrate to the surface. Beeswax is the only wax that blooms. If you see a bloom on your candles you can be sure you have 100% beeswax candles. The bloom will not affect your candle in any negative way.

Many people love the way blooming beeswax looks but if you wish to avoid bloom appearing on your candles keep them stored in an area where the temperature remains stable and is not very cold. This will help bloom from appearing on the surface of the wax.

To remove bloom from candles simply use a soft cloth to buff the candle or apply a gentle heat, with your hands and the bloom will disappear.
