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 centre 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.

It Grips Without Sanding
On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is flaking.
Two Coats in One Day
About an hour between coats at room temperature. A piece started in the morning is back together by evening.
Water-Based, from Start to Finish
Brushes, rollers and spills clean up with warm water. No solvents, and almost no odour after a few hours.

How Much Paint for Your Surface?
Coverage depends first on what you’re painting. Here’s what one litre covers in practice, depending on the surface and how it’s prepared.
Bare Wood
- Coverage
- 9 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Sand with 180 grit, dust off, prime tannin-rich woods.
Bare wood soaks up the first coat. Plan on two coats and lower coverage than on other surfaces.
Previously Painted or Varnished Wood
- Coverage
- 12 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease, scuff with an abrasive pad, wipe dry.
On a surface that’s already sealed, the paint stays on top: that’s where coverage is at its best.
Interior Walls
- Coverage
- 11 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Wash, fill, let dry completely.
A matte wall repainted in a similar tone may need only one coat.
Melamine, Laminate and Metal
- Coverage
- 10 m² per litre
- Coats
- 2 coats
- Preparation
- Degrease with alcohol, then a bonding primer — no exceptions.
It’s the one step you can’t skip: without a bonding primer, the paint chips at the first knock.
The Questions We Get Asked
-
Do I need to sand before painting?
Rarely. On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough to open up the surface. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is blistering or flaking.
-
How many coats should I plan for?
Two, in the vast majority of cases. One is enough to refresh a similar shade; plan on three when a dark blue or red has to disappear under a white.
-
Is a primer necessary?
On wood, plaster and drywall, no. On melamine, laminate and metal, yes: a bonding primer, otherwise nothing holds for long.
-
Can a painted surface be washed?
Once protected with wax or varnish, yes: a damp cloth and mild soap. Chalk paint left bare stays porous and stains.
-
How long should I wait between coats?
About an hour at room temperature. Wait longer if the air is humid: the coat must be dry all the way through, not just to the touch.
