Wicking Container Candles
In a properly wicked container candle:
- The flame is approximately 1" tall, not flickering excessively
- Wax melts across top of the container from edge to edge
- The melt pool is 1/4 - 3/4" deep
- Wax burns cleanly at the flame without smoke or soot
- After candle has burned from top to bottom, wax is completely consumed leaving the sides clean.
