Candle Safety + Best Practices

Like all candles, safety is important when burning cocktail candles.

Please follow these guidelines: 

  • Burn within sight

  • Keep away from flammable objects

  • Keep away from children and pets

  • Remove all decorative objects before burning

  • Burn on a level surface

  • Trim wick to ¼” before lighting

  • Do not move candle while lit

  • Stop use when 2" of wax remains, or glass is hot to touch when burning. 

  • Please exercise your best judgment when it comes to candle safety; if in doubt- blow it out!

  • Do not burn candles for more than 3 hours at a time after your first burn. This is a rule of thumb for all candles; from novelty to plain tumbler candles. 

  • For questions, please reach out.

Best Burn Life

How to Maximize Your Candle Burn Time 

Here are best practices when burning your martini or margarita candle:
**note this does not apply to "jelly" candles**
​

  • Allow your candle to burn for approximately 2 - 4hours on your first burn. This is enough time for your candle wax to melt fully across the top. 

    • This will avoid  “tunneling” where the candle wax “tunnels”, decreasing the life of your candle. 

​

  • Trim wick with scissors to 1/4" each use.

Not Quite Yet...


The image on the right is a candle that has been burning for approximately one hour.
Because the wax top has not fully melted, it is important to not blow out the candle at this time if avoidable.

That's It!

At this point (final photo) the candle has fully burned across the top. A candle burned to this point will have a longer life as well as a better quality burn moving forward.

Lighting Your Candle (After a Candle Class) 
 


Let's face it; we all want to burn our candles right away.

However, please wait 24 hours before burning your candle. 

​

Also, please note candles will be at their strongest scent 5 days after your class.
