FAQs
How do I care for my beeswax pillar candle?
Beeswax pillar candles need to be burned in long enough sessions to ensure the wax pool melts out to near the edge of the candle. This ensures that the candle does not tunnel a hole down the middle. A thin mantle can be left or it can be gently folded or ‘hugged’ in towards the wick to create a level surface.
What is the diameter of your pillar candles?
Most of our beeswax pillar candles are 3” in diameter (the heritage hand-dripped pillars are about ¼” wider. The new small pillar is just under 2” diameter.
How do I light my pillar candle?
When you light your candle, light the base of the wick not the tip. Let burn for at least 3 hours at a time.
How do I extinguish my pillar candle?
Instead of blowing out the candle, dunk the wick into the pool and straighten. This ensures an easier relight and prevents the wick from smoking.
Why is the flame on my pillar so large?
If the flame is too large, it means the wick needs a trim. Extinguish the candle by dunking the wick into the wax pool, trim the wick, straighten and relight. If a ‘carbon cap’ globule forms on the tip, trim the wick.
What is the diameter of your pillar candles?
Most of our beeswax pillar candles are 3” in diameter (the heritage hand-dripped pillars are about ¼” wider. The new small pillar is just under 2” diameter.
My beeswax pillar burned a tunnel down the middle when I burned it. What happened?
Beeswax pillars need to be burned at least 3 hours to form a pool of melted wax the width of the candle. Then the sides should be ‘hugged’ in to create a level burning surface to ensure the best flame for the whole life of the candle. For some excellent information on proper burning of pure beeswax Honey Candles® pillars and other varieties check out our Candle Care page or search our blogs.
Are your colored pillar candles solid or just coated?
Our coloured beeswax pillars are poured from carefully tinted beeswax. They are the same colour the whole way through.
What is the best holder for my pillar candle?
The best candle holder for your beeswax pillar candle is a flat pillar plate or sturdy pillar pedestal. We recommend that you do not burn your beeswax pillar in a hurricane lamp or similar enclosed candleholders. Tight fitting hurricane lanterns may hold in too much heat causing the melt pool to become too large and potentially spill over. If you really want to use a contained lantern, ensure it is substantially larger than the candle diameter and keep the wick trimmed short to contain the wax pool.
