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.

Stainless steel is an alloy consisting mainly of the metals iron, chromium and nickel. The chromium provides resistance to rusting, the nickel provides strength at very high temperatures, and the iron provides cost-effective strength at lower temperatures. normal temperatures it remains a shiny silver color because the chromium forms a thin oxide layer that stops the iron from rusting.

Your container will turn black at the top for various reasons.

Each time the lamp is turned on and off the emissions material settles on the inside of the glass. Extreme darkening generally indicates the bulb is about to burn out.

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.

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.
