Wick Placement 101: For Long Burn and Safety

At Candella, we believe in providing you with the tools you need to make the most of your sand candles. That's why every purchase of our sand candles includes a pack of wicks, each sized at 15cm. These wicks are designed to be trimmed to fit your specific container size, allowing for optimal performance and safety.

To achieve the best burn and ensure safety, follow these simple wick placement instructions:

1. Trim the Wick: Start by trimming the wick to fit your container. Using scissors or wick trimmers, cut the wick to the appropriate length, ensuring it is no longer than 1/4" above the surface of the candle.
2. Place the Wick: Once trimmed, carefully place the wick in the center of the candle, ensuring it is positioned upright and straight. For optimal performance, the top of the wick should be approximately 1/4" above the surface of the candle.
3. Test the Placement: Before lighting the candle, double-check the wick placement to ensure it is centered and positioned correctly. This will help prevent uneven burning and potential safety hazards.
