How to Use Beeswax Candles

- Burn Time

Beeswax has a lower melting point than parrafin and soy candles. Therefore beeswax candles are best burnt on a plate or similar heat proof surface rather than in a lantern (as this increases the heat the candle is subject to – speeding up burn time)

Burn time on beeswax candles is generally longer per weight of candle as the wax is more dense.

Lighting Beeswax Candles

When first lighting a beeswax candle the flame will be quite large, much larger than the ‘resting’ flame. This is because on the initial burn the wax is drawn through the wick. There may be some soot/ large flame persisting for 5-10 minutes after which time the flame tends to settle.

Important

It is important to burn the candle on a level heat proof surface, avoid drafts (which will cause flame flicker and dripping) and burn for approx 4 hours on the initial burn.
