A well-made candle will create virtually no smoke when burning properly. However, if the wick becomes too long, or an air current disturbs the flame's teardrop shape, small amounts of unburned carbon particles (soot) will escape from the flame as a visible wisp of smoke. Any candle will soot if the flame is disturbed. To avoid this, always trim the wick to ¼ inch before every use and be sure to place candles away from drafts, vents or air currents.

Drafts again are the culprit - causing the flame to burn to one side. Another reason could be that the holder is not resting on a level surface and the wick is not centered and straight. See similar questions...

All candles, especially highly scented ones like mine, will produce some smoke and soot, but proper burning (keeping wick trimmed and avoiding drafts, etc.) will help eliminate this problem. See similar questions...

Candles should be kept out of direct sunlight. I add a UV inhibitor in my candles, which will help with this problem; however, if the candle is in the direct sunlight, it will eventually fade. See similar questions...

Smoking can inhibit proper healing of an implant. However, this does not prevent smokers from having implants successfully placed and restored. You should speak with your dentist for more specific information relating to your dental needs and the effects of smoking. See similar questions...

All Scented Specialties candles will cover smoke or bad odors. There is no "magic" ingredient that will make one candle cover odors better than another, however one of our stronger scents may cover the smoke or odor more quickly. 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.

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...

One of the dangers comes from the small particles that make up smoke. These small particles float in the air and get into people's airways and lungs and trigger infections or diseases. In the case of bronchitis they cause the progressive and irreversible obstruction of the airflow. Smoke from burning wood, dung and crop waste contains significant quantities of several pollutants such as carbon monoxide, particles, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. See similar questions...

To 'anoint' an object, basically means to rub or smear something on it. Anointing a candle is usually done to amplify or focus its energy on a specific task. It can be done with oils, powders, herbs, etc. See similar questions...

Once the female starts her incubation, termed 'sitting the clutch' or ' sitting tight', the eggs can be candled after 6 - 7 days to check for fertility. You can use a small pen light flashlight or an Egg Candler. A large degree of care should be given when handling the eggs. If you need to pick them up, you should use a plastic spoon. I try not to handle the eggs and just candle them in the nest. To candle the egg just place the light directly against the egg. See similar questions...

Candling should be done eight days after the first egg. This should enable you to see the beginnings of a series of veins under the shell: if it is fertile. If it is not fertile, eight days is enough to provide you with some certainty that the egg is devoid of life or hope for it. Dead in Shell eggs should be removed from the nest, unless some chicks have already hatched,and you want to ensure that the hen does not sit too tightly on the new chicks, by leaving an egg.
