The Care and Feeding of a Beeswax Pillar Candle

## How to properly maintain and maximize the life of your candles:

• Choose Pillars for Value: Beeswax pillars are a better investment than tapers because they are less delicate and sustain much longer burn intervals. 

• Establish a Memory Ring: Proper care prevents "tunneling," where the flame burns a hole straight down the center. 

• "Hug" the Edges: To ensure an even burn, you should manually press the warm wax edges toward the center of the candle. 

• Practice Wick Discipline: It is essential to trim the wick after extinguishing the flame to keep the candle manageable. 

• Monitor Burn Duration: While tapers burn down quickly, pillars should be extinguished after a few hours to prevent them from getting too hot and melting prematurely.
