Why is it so important to trim your wick?
Here’s a side by side comparison on what happens if you don’t trim your wicks.
The wick on the left is trimmed to the ideal 1/4”. It’s steady. The flame is the perfect size. It will melt evenly and beautifully providing a long, clean burn.
Take notice of a few things about the wick on the right.
⚡️The flame is way too large. Meaning it will burn hotter faster, so your candle won’t last as long.
⚡️The carbon the untrimmed part creates black smoke + pops! The parts popping off can lead to fires and causes the black soot you sometimes see on the vessel.
⚡️The melt pool is already larger than the one of the left. You won’t get the best burn out of your candles.
So, why trim your wicks? Safety + Longevity. Trim your wicks people!
