Why does my candle smoke?

Personal Esscents - Frequently Asked 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.

What causes a candle to smoke, and what can I do to correct it?

National Candle Association: About Candles - Frequently Aske...
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.

How does a candle work?

Candles By Victoria ~ FAQ
Candles really are an amazing lighting system -- the fuel itself is the package. There are two parts that work together in a candle: The wick, made of some sort of absorbent twine The wick needs to be naturally absorbent, like a towel, or it needs to have a strong capillary action (as in glass fiber wicks used in oil lamps). If you buy a length of un-waxed wick at a craft store and play with it, you will find that it feels like soft string and absorbs water very well.

Does the smoke air cleaner have to run all the time?

Frequently Asked Questions About A Smoke Air Cleaner and Pur...
The SE400 and SE800 are designed to run 24/7, but in most cases, they will not need to run constantly. A good practice is to turn the air cleaner(s) on high speed prior to opening time, to get a head start on air circulation ? this helps reduce the chance of your air cleaning equipment having to play "catch-up." Once patrons start rolling in, you may choose to reduce the air cleaner fan speed if high speed is not necessary.

Why does the flame in my candle keep going out?

Personal Esscents - Frequently Asked Questions
Chances are, the wick has been cut too short. If a wick becomes too short to light, carve away enough wax around the wick(s) in order to re-light the wick(s). You may get a fairly large flame at first, but as the melt pool expands, the level of the melt pool will rise, creating a smaller flame. When you have achieved a full melt pool, you can extinguish the flame(s), let the wax cool, then trim again if necessary.

What does "hugging" a candle mean?

Personal Esscents - Frequently Asked Questions
The term "hugging a candle" simply refers to gently pressing the outer edge of your pillar or grubby candle inward after the candle has burned long enough for the outer edge to become pliable.

Why does my candle jar sometimes turn black at the top?

Candles By Victoria ~ FAQ
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.

Why does my beeswax candle sometimes seem hard to light?

Beeswax Candle FAQ'S

When do I candle eggs?

Lady Gouldian Finch .com - Frequently Asked 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.

When should you candle?

Preface.htm
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.
