Votive Candles

Here are some tips for getting full use of your votive candles.

Caution: Always remove any labels on the side of the candle or on the bottom prior to burning the candle.

Votive candles are designed to liquify while burning and must be used in an appropriate sized container. The inside of the container should be of similar size to the votive candle. Too wide of a container will leave the liquid wax too far from the flame and excess wax will remain. Votive candles are manufactured to consume themselves completely. If burned free-standing, votives will drip.

Add 1/8" of water to container to lessen breakage and make container easier to clean.

Always remove metal tabs or clips from the bottom of the container before adding another candle.

Keep the wick centered for even consumption of the wax. This will also prevent possible heat damage to the container.

Keep the wax pool free of foreign matter that might cause a fire hazard.

If the flame seems to small and is "drowning" in the wax, extinguish it and use a potholder to pick up the votive glass to pour the excess liquid into a lined wastebasket.
