Troubleshooting
Candle does not fit securely in the cup.
Ensure you are using a standard dinner candle. If the fit is still loose, consider using a small amount of candle wax or a candle shim for a tighter fit.
Glass appears smudged or dull.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a mild glass cleaner sparingly and wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Uneven burning of the candle.
Trim the candle wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. Ensure the candleholder is on a level surface to promote even melting.
Slight variations in color or transparency.
This is normal for handcrafted glass items. Each piece is unique due to the nature of glass blowing and coloring processes.
