sam_gamgeeSince I know a lot of you are crafty and/or like candles, I thought I'd ask:
I have one of the large Yankee candle jar candles. I've burned about half of it, and I've been having a hard time keeping it burning evenly.
Is there a good way to keep it burning evenly? (Whether it's a minimum burn time or something.)
I have a candle warmer - is there a way that I can use it, but keep the wick straight/from disappearing? (Like figuring out a way to tie the wick and anchor it to a pencil balanced over the jar opening or soemthing.)

Date: 2009-01-19 10:33 pm (UTC)I recently bought some rather expensive votive and tea light candles from PartyLites and they suggest letting them burn for at least three hours (the votives at least) until all the wax is liquid. This keeps a pool from forming and the wick from getting drowned.
I do know that my cheaper candles don't all turn into liquid, but a Yankee candle should be of a quality to do so.
I'm not sure what you mean by a candle warmer, though. =>}
