Burn Time: 250g; 50 hours / 160g; 35 hours Wax Composition: Organic & Fair Trade Coconut Oil and UK Produced Rapeseed Wax. Wick: Unbleached and Lead-Free Italian Cotton (RAL Certified) Burn Tips: To prevent 'tunnelling', allow enough time for the wax to melt completely to the edges of the container before extinguishing. Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Doing so will overheat the container and slowly degrade the fragrance oils. Trim the wick after each use to maintain the optimum burning temperature and flame height.

Troubleshooting
Candle is tunnelling (wax melts only in the center)
On the first burn, ensure the wax melts completely to the edges of the container. For subsequent burns, always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. Avoid burning for less than 2 hours if the wax pool has not reached the edge.
Wick is smoking excessively
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. Ensure there are no drafts around the candle. If the smoking persists, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, and re-center and trim the wick.
Fragrance is weak
Ensure the candle has burned long enough for the scent to diffuse (allow wax to melt to the edges). Check that the wick is trimmed appropriately and the room is not excessively large or drafty. Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time, as this can degrade fragrance oils.
Vessel has minor imperfections
This is a natural characteristic of the handmade micro concrete vessel. The imperfections contribute to its unique aesthetic. Ensure the candle is placed on a stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
Ensure the wick is centered and upright.
Care:
Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm). This helps ensure a clean burn and prevents excessive smoking.
First Burn: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the melted wax pool to reach the outer edges of the container. This typically takes 2-4 hours and prevents 'tunnelling'.
Burn Time Limits: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours consecutively. Prolonged burning can overheat the container and degrade fragrance oils.
Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and straighten it to extinguish the flame cleanly. Avoid blowing out the flame.
Cleaning the Vessel: Once the candle is finished, the micro concrete vessel can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Minor imperfections are a natural characteristic of handmade items.
