Approximately 25 to 30 hours for 4 oz. formats.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
***Before first use:
-Wicks require a little care before use. Be sure to remove any burnt ends before lighting.
-Cut the wick to a height of 1/4 inch. A wick that is too long may result in too high a flame, uneven melting and, consequently, shorter duration.
– Place the candle on a stable surface protected from heat.
***While the candle is lit :
-When you use the candle for the first time, we advise you to let it burn for a sufficiently long time, i.e. a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours.
-This will prevent a small ‘tunnel’ forming in the center of the candle around the wick, causing the wick to go out on subsequent uses. The more evenly the wax melts the first time, the more evenly it will melt thereafter.
PROBLEM??!!!!
-If the flame is very small…. there may be burnt bits on your wick… remove them – you can easily cut with a nail clipper if the wick is too long (which can happen the first time you use it).
Don’t try to melt the wax stuck to the sides… it will turn your whole pot black. Let it heat long enough to give it a chance to re-melt…. but if it didn’t burn evenly the first time… it may not burn evenly, but that won’t affect its effectiveness.
