Before I even think about wicks, I test my wax alone. Why? Because wick-less testing tells me the real behavior of the wax without any variables interfering. Wick-less tests reveal: • How the wax cools • How much it shrinks • Crystal structure formation • Frosting patterns • Whether sinkholes appear naturally • How stable the blend is before adding fragrance or heat from a flame When you skip this step, you’re guessing. When you do it, you’re engineering your candles — not hoping they work. #can

You may have lit a "mushroomed" candle wick before and had the soot explode a little all through your beautiful soy wax, leaving dirty black dots all through it! So why trim your candle wick? Trimming the candle wick is super important to make your candle burn cleanly, safely, and it will last much longer! If you don't, the soot can build up and "mushroom" on the wick. It means far more soot is put into the air, and also is the reason why you see some jars get covered in black soot on the inside
