Q: How should I care for my candle?

A: To ensure a clean and even burn, trim the wick to 0.5 cm before each use. Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface before extinguishing the candle to prevent tunneling.

Q: What should I do if my candle starts to tunnel?

A: Tunneling can often be fixed by allowing the candle to burn for longer periods, ensuring the wax melts evenly across the surface. You can also use a foil wrap around the candle's top edge to help the wax melt more evenly.

Q: How do I safely extinguish a candle?

A: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using water to extinguish a candle as it can cause the hot wax to splatter.
