Wick Centering Tips
- Use wick centering devices or chopsticks laid across the top to keep wicks straight
- Glue wick tabs to the bottom center with a wick sticker or hot glue
- For containers wider than 3.5 inches, consider using two wicks
- Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each burn for even flame
- Always test burn a candle fully before producing a batch
