Soy Candle FIRST BURN

Accepted Answer

Candles have a burning memory which is why some candles burn down the middle leaving the outside intact.
With Soy Candles it is important that for the first burn you burn until the entire top is liquid. This is only necessary for the first burn so burn only when you will have it burning for probably an hour depending on size of diameter.

Prior to lightly your candle and in between burns ensure the wick is no longer than 5mm in length, untrimmed wicks will cause smoke and darken the inside of your glass.   To remove black residue on the inside of your candle jar wipe clean with a dampen paper towel.
