- Candle Safety Guidlines- **Candle Safety Information from OccultCornerStore.com** - At OccultCornerStore.com, we prioritize your safety in all aspects of our products. Our candles are meticulously handcrafted and dressed with herbs and oils to enhance your spiritual and ritual practices. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with our candles, please adhere to the following guidelines: - 1. **Never leave a burning candle unattended.** Ensure candles are placed on a stable surface away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. - 2. **Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting.** This helps prevent excessive flame and ensures even burning. - 3. **Burn candles in a well-ventilated area.** Avoid drafts, vents, or air currents that can cause uneven burning or flare-ups. - 4. **Allow the candle to form a full melt pool.** Ensure the melted wax reaches the edges of the container for even burning and to prevent tunneling. - 5. **Do not throw water on a candle.** Water can cause the hot wax to splatter and spread the flame, which may result in injuries or fire hazards. - 6. **Use a snuffer or a wet towel to extinguish the flame.** Snuffing with a candle snuffer or placing a wet towel over the flame are the safest methods to put out a candle. This prevents wax splatter and minimizes smoke. - 7. **Keep the wax pool free of debris.** Remove any herbs or wick trimmings that may fall into the wax to prevent flaring or smoking. - 8. **Stop burning the candle when only 1/2 inch of wax remains.** Burning a candle too low can cause the container to overheat or crack. - While our candles are crafted with care and intention, proper usage and caution are essential for your safety. Enjoy your candle experience responsibly!
