Candle Burning Information and Tips

If you are new to burning candles, or have had problems in the past and wonder why, then hopefully you will find help in these pages.

These pages offer general information and tips which will prove helpful for candle burning in general and are not just about our own candles.

However the information generally refers to candles that are designed to be used as candles. There are many novelty candles that cannot burn well for many reasons. We don't make these and we do not particularly refer to such candles.
