CARE
For an optimal burn:
Always burn candles within sight.
Light candles in a draft-free room.
Never leave matches or debris in wax.
Never burn on or near anything flammable.
Keep away from pets and children.
THE BEESWAX EXCHANGE
Collect every candle scrap! We turn leftover beeswax into new candles.
BLOOM
Sometimes a powdery coating appears on the exterior of beeswax. This occurs because of temperature fluctuations. A bloomed candle is safe to burn or can be removed using a soft dry cloth.
A bloomed candle on the left in comparison to without.
The memory of a candle is the indented wax pool.
MEMORY
Burn the Mirth Pillar for a minimum of 3hrs and the Glass Pillar for a minimum of 2hrs. The memory of a candle is the indented wax pool. Minimum burn times allow an optimal expansion of a wax pool, which minimizes leftover wax.
Hugging
Slightly fold of the exterior wall toward the center. This feeds more wax to the wick which minimizes leftover wax. Hugging works best while a Mirth Pillar is still warm.
Hug the Mirth Pillar after each sitting.
Wick Trimmers are available with purchase of the Glass Pillar.
WICK TRIMMERS
An old tool designed to upkeep the Glass Pillar. These long thin scissors reach low to trim the wick, dip the wick in the wax pool, and reposition upright. Use the plate to catch and remove debris.
