Hand poured in small batches with 100% Beeswax. Our wide pillars candles have a diameter of 3 inches.
For best results, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting and keep the flame away from open windows, fans, and drafts. To avoid a tunneling wick over the lifespan of the candle, allow the molten wax pool to reach the edge of the candle before extinguishing, and gently mold in the sides of the candle while the wax is warm, bringing the wax closer to the flame. If the wick is bending severely to one side, use a tool to nudge the wick upright from the base of the exposed wick. When extinguishing, use a tool (such as an unbent paper clip) to tip the burning wick down into the wax pool and then back out again, as this prevents a smoldering wick.
Under these conditions, each large pillar will burn for upwards of 8 hours per inch.
