1 candle before
Every time before lighting a candle, you need to trim the candle wick, the length of about 0.5-0.8cm is the most suitable, and twist the candle wick tightly with your fingers. This is to make the candle burn evenly and avoid black smoke from excessive length of the candle wick and slits The problem.
2 burning candles
When lighting a scented candle for the first time, time control is very important, and the burning time should not be too short. It is said that candles have "burning memory". If the first ignition does not heat the surface evenly and completely melts, then the candle will burn only around the wick.
Keep enough burning time according to the capacity of the candle to form a complete wax pool, so that the embarrassing situation of not burning to the edge is not easy to occur after use.
3 Extinguish the candles
Extinguish the candle, do not blow it out randomly, it is easy to produce black smoke and peculiar smell. You can choose professional candle extinguishing tools or candle caps. If the candle wick is skewed, it can be straightened in time.

If the candle still burns incompletely and unevenly, there are still some ways to remedy it.
1. Before lighting the candle, wrap the outer edge of the candle in tinfoil, so that the heat can be concentrated to help melt the wax around the edge.
2. After extinguishing the candle, scrape the residual wax from the edges into the melted wax in the center.
6 Melting Wax Lamps
The latest wax melting lamp actually melts the surface of the candle through the high temperature of the bulb, and the fragrance can be released without lighting the wick.
