Did you know that achieving a full burn pool during the first use of your soy wax candle is super crucial? Let us enlighten you!
Why Does The Burn Pool Matter?
When you light your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax melts all the way to the edges, creating a beautiful, even “burn pool.” This ensures an optimal and consistent burn throughout the candle’s lifespan. Why is this important? It prevents tunneling, where wax accumulates around the wick, wasting precious burn time. By achieving a full burn pool, you maximize the amount of fragrance released and extend the candle’s overall burn time. 🔥
How To Achieve A Full Burn Pool?
Patience is the virtue here. Allow your candle to burn for a minimum of 2-4 hours on the first burn, liquifying the top completely. Keep your candle in a draft-free area to avoid uneven melting that could lead to tunneling on the sides of the vessel. Also, remember to trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each use even the first time.
Remember, the first burn sets the stage for a beautiful and long-lasting candle experience. So, the next time you light your soy candle, give it the time it deserves to create that mesmerizing melt pool. Your senses will thank you, and your candle will shine its brightest! Happy clean burning!💖
