Before you light your candle, you should ask yourself if you have ample time to let your candle burn for a sufficient amount of time. For example, if you continually burn your 16 oz. Apothecary jar candle for 1-2 hours at a time, it will not be enough time to create a wax melt pool for the entire diameter of the jar, therefore, it will only burn down the center, leaving wax around the jar.

No, it is made from a paper blend. You may notice that the candle smoke upon extinguishing. This is due to the high level of pure essential organic oils that the candle contains. To reduce the amount of smoke, keep the wick trimmed and re-cover the lid when extinguishing. See similar questions...

Consult the laundering instructions provided by manufacturer of the fabric. Professional cleaners are valuable sources of information. If attempting to clean the item yourself, it is important to allow the wax to completely harden. Once hard, gently chip away the wax from the fabric. After most of the wax has been removed, run hot water through the fabric. Citrus or oil-based cleaners are the most effective in removing stains. See similar questions...

All you need to do when the candle is finished burning is to simply grab the remaining wax with your fingers and peel it away. There is no need to add water into your candle cups or votive holders. See similar questions...

Each style of Candle-lite candle requires certain special handling to insure your safety and to enhance the enjoyment of your candle burning experience. For example, votive candles should always be burned IN a votive cup, pillar candles ON a plate or pillar holder, discontinue burning when 1/2" of unmelted wax remains to avoid breakage - all important information. Always take time to read the important burning instructions on each candle before use. See similar questions...

I would put the molds up side down and have a pan under and heat up so the wax drippes out into a pan. I will not burn it. see pictures: http://art.net/~stina/BlueLinks.html Yes for hard wax (the standard brown wax) is harder on the clay mixture and will break up the texture I have on the surface. Beeswax is better in getting detail. I like crusty surfaces ( clay fragments embedded in the surface or copper) but I like to be able to see into the glass in sertain areas. See similar questions...

As tempting as it may be to use ALL the wax in the jar, you need to stop burning your container candle when the wax level reaches ? " from the bottom. If you continue to burn your candle, you run the risk of the glass container breaking or possibly shattering. See similar questions...

The black you see is carbon. An excessively large flame will produce carbon due to lack of sufficient oxygen from the air in the jar to provide complete combustion. The updraft of hot gases from combustion hinders diffusion of air into the jar and that starves the flame of oxygen. The key for that perfect burning candle is wick maintenance. The wick must be trimmed to no more than 1/4" throughout the candle life. The candle can be burned for several hours without trimming. See similar questions...

Pewter is a soft metal with a low melting point, so DO NOT put your pewter items into the dishwasher. Hand wash your items carefully in warm soapy water. Store all of your pewter items upright to prevent warping over time. A bonus with pewter is that it does not tarnish! It can, however, be polished with a pewter polish (available from Hagerty), or washed in warm soapy water. See similar questions...

Excess or spilled wax can be removed from the lantern by chipping or scraping it off with a blunt object. This is easier if you first place the part with the wax on it in a freezer for 10-20 minutes until the wax becomes brittle. You can also remove wax by heating until just hot enough to cause melting and blotting with absorbent material. See similar questions...

How does it feel on your skin? When you put the oil on your skin, does it feel greasy and heavy? If it does and the skin does not absorb it and creates a greasy film on top of the skin...then it is mostly soy wax. Does it have color? If it does, then it more than likely has some sort of a wax product in it for the color to adhere to. For the most part, dyes in candles are not skin safe. See similar questions...

No. We do not recommend this as the packaging may catch fire. Always remove any labels and packaging before burning. Our tea light plastic candle cups are heat resistant so you can burn these with safety. See similar questions...

What you're seeing is soot. This problem can be eliminated if you trim your wick(s) every time before you light your candle, to ?". If soot builds up inside the container, after you have extinguished the flame and the wax has cooled, spray some Windex on a paper towel and wipe out the inside of the container. I would not spray Windex directly in the jar. Wipe over the cleaned area with a water dampened paper towel afterward. Allow the container to dry thoroughly before relighting.

No. This is a common misunderstanding. Remember, a candle is a solid not a liquid. Most liquids will lose their fragrance if left uncovered. Examples of this would include perfumes and colognes. At Candles By Victoria we thoroughly mix our fragrances within the wax and continue to agitate throughout the filling process. This assures that the fragrance is captured within the very structure of the candle and releases the powerful fragrance upon wax liquefying through melting. See similar questions...

the flame nears the bottom of the glass jar and most of the wax is gone, the glass at the base of the candle can get extremely hot and could be dangerous. If you discontinue using the candle with 1/2" of wax remaining, the base should not get too hot. You should also to remember to burn all candles on heat resistant surfaces. See similar questions...

Occasionally this may happen due to the nature of soy wax. The benefits of soy wax far outweigh any appearance flaws. This does not normally happen on candles that have been properly extinguished. To get your wick back, take a long grill lighter and melt the wax on the top layer until you can see the wick. Once you can see the wick, dump out the wax that you have melted with the lighter into another wax safe container, NOT into a trash can as the wax will melt the plastic. See similar questions...
