The wicks burn to a specific diameter, so it is very important to use the correct size wick for the container to stop your candle from tunnelling.

Please ensure you use the correct size container for your size wick.

You need to leave the candle burning at least until the wax has melted across the whole container. This will ensure the candle does not tunnel down the middle.

Roughly 0.5cm above the top of the wax.

The fragrance oil does not automatically bind with the wax, therefore, needs some help and time to blend so you can have an even scent throughout the burn of the candle.

Our WICK-ED candle fragrance oils are UK manufactured and Paraben Free Quality Oils.

This is called the ‘curing time’ - it is the time it takes the scented oil and wax to ‘bind’ giving the candle a stronger scent.

If you add the oil whilst the wax is very hot It could just evaporate and you will have no scent left for your candle.  If you add it when the temperature is too low the fragrance oil will not bind with the wax and produce no fragrance.

The temperature you add your fragrance oil is very important to get the right result.  

Please follow the instructions.

You just pinch the excess ash from the wick with your fingers. It is not essential to use wick cutters or scissors.

This is some of the ash from the woodwick which has coloured the wax.

It is very normal for woodwick candles to do this and will not affect the fragrance or burning of your candle.
