Do soy candles burn differently than other candles?
Yes, the first time you burn your soy candle, burn for 2 hours or longer for a full melt pool of wax.
There is wax on the side of my candle jar sometimes, is that normal?
Yes. If there is a draft or air movement in room (ceiling fan, air vent, etc.) some wax will remain on the sides of the jar.
Can you push wax down off the sides of jar?
Yes. After you put the candle out, gently push the wax down. Make sure you leave a half-inch wick for next time you light the candle.
How do I clean a soapstone burner?
You can light a tealight to warm up any leftover wax, then wipe it out and wash with hot water and soap. Caution wax in burners becomes hot when completely melted.
How come the texture of my soy candles does not look smooth like other candles?
I use 100% soybean wax no blends to make a smooth finish.
