Initial burn: Make sure to keep your candle lit until the entire pool of wax reaches the edges. This first burn sets the tone of relighting your candle + ensures an even burn from that point forward. If you extinguish your candle flame before a full melt pool, your candle will likely result in tunneling. Don't forget to trim your wick before relighting your candle each time. Keep your candle away from drafty areas. Keep your candle out of reach of children + pets.
