• The First Burn: Allow the wax to melt completely across the surface to the edges of the vessel on your first burn (approximately 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.
• Trim the Wick: Always trim the cotton wick to 5mm before every lighting. This ensures a clean, steady burn and minimizes black smoke.
• Time Limit: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the vessel to cool down completely before relighting.
• Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children, pets, and flammable materials. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• The End of the Ritual: Discontinue use when only 5mm of wax remains at the bottom. The artisanal concrete vessel can be repurposed as a timeless object.
