i. Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and matches, as debris in the wax can act as a secondary wick, encouraging your candle to burn faster.
ii. After extinguishing the flame with a snuffer, center and straighten the wick. Burning for long can cause the wick to move or slant. If you see a flaming wick, come close
to the vessel wall, extinguish the flame, and straighten the wick to prevent the vessel from cracking.
iii. Long or crooked wicks can create high flames, smoking, or sooting. Trimming the wick to 5mm (when the wax has set) following every burn is the easiest way to prevent this.
