THE FIRST BURN
THE FIRST BURN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. MAKE SURE THE MELT POOL REACHES ALL SIDES OF THE CANDLE BEFORE EXTINGUISHING, OTHERWISE TUNNELING CAN OCCUR.
SUBSEQUENT BURNS
TRY TO MAKE A HABIT OF LETTING THE MELT POOL ALWAYS REACH THE SIDES OF THE CANDLE TO ENSURE YOU CAPTURE THE CANDLE'S WHOLE POTENTIAL.
TRIM YOUR WICKS
ALWAYS TRIM YOUR WICKS TO 1/4" BEFORE EVERY BURN SO THAT THE CANDLE DOES NOT BURN FASTER THAN IT SHOULD.
CLEAN OUT FOR WHISKEY
- PLACE CANDLE IN FREEZER OVERNIGHT.
- RUN HOT TAP WATER OVER WAX TO LOOSEN REMAINING WAX AND REMOVE WITH A WOODEN UTENSIL. HOLD THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS WHILE DOING THIS STEP. IT'S THICK AND STURDY.
- REMOVE WICK TABS FROM BASE OF GLASS. IF THESE GIVE YOU A HARD TIME JUST SOAK THEM FOR 10 MINUTES WITH HOT WATER AND DISH SOAP. THEY'LL POP RIGHT OUT.
- CLEAN OUT GLASS AND GIVE IT A RUN THROUGH THE DISHWASHER.
- POUR WHISKEY.
