Tips for
The Candles
The burning time is important for your handmade candle to burn perfectly. A minimum burning time of 2 hours must be respected, in order to allow your candle to burn evenly over its entire surface, the wax having time to melt to the edge of the pot. This way, you avoid the problem of the candle hollowing out and you can enjoy your scented candle from L'Atelier Ginko until the end.
Maintain well
The Wicks
A quality wick allows your handmade candle to burn properly. We only use wicks labeled 100% cotton . In order to ensure the proper combustion of your candle, different aspects must be checked at the level of the wick of your candle. A good wick at the right length allows your handmade candle to burn as cleanly as possible. Do not hesitate to cut the wick the first time you use your candle to prevent it from being too long!
LITTLE EXTRA: After burning, the end of the wick may pill, cut it before reusing your candle. This will prevent the release of black smoke.
Caution: A Hot Candle
Obviously, never leave a candle unattended and remember to protect the piece of furniture on which the candle is placed, for example using a ceramic dish.
Never let a candle burn for more than 3 hours to allow the glass to cool.
Tips for
The Fondants
Burn time is important for your handmade fondant to burn perfectly. The burn time and evaporation of the fragrance will be different depending on your diffuser.
Either classic ceramic with a tea light or electric where you can adjust your diffusion.
How to use Fondants
The wax does not evaporate. Only the fragrance will evaporate. You will therefore always have the same amount of wax in your burner. When you find that your melt no longer smells enough, generally after 6 to 8 hours, it is time to change it.
and finally...
How to Remove Wax
Allow the wax to cool completely until it is completely hardened.
There are several ways to remove your tart from the burner.
– The first is to relight the diffuser, the wax being liquid, absorb the latter with a paper towel.
– The second is to use a spoon, start from the outer edge of the burner and work towards the center. In order to remove the hardened wax. This technique is not recommended for glass burners.
TIP : You can put your burner in the fridge for 5-10 minutes. This will harden the wax which will be easier to remove later.
Conservation
Scented Melts can be stored for up to one year, provided they are kept away from sunlight, heat and humidity.
