Burn Tips For Tapers

To preserve the life of your candle I suggest you follow the guidelines listed below.

Burn Times

Tapers are low-maintenance, no minimum burn time required.

Wick Wisdom

Before each use, trim the wick to 1/4”.

Light the wick from the base of the wick (where the wick comes out of the candle) to allow the beeswax to absorb into the wick.

If your wick does any of the following, it likely needs to be trimmed:

  • Flame Height: The flame is excessively high (more than 1 inch).
  • Flickering Flame: The flame flickers or dances frequently, indicating an uneven burn.
  • Smoke Production: Black smoke visible, which is a sign of an overly long wick.
  • Mushrooming Wick: The wick forms a mushroom shape at the tip, which can cause soot and uneven burning.
  • Irregular Flame: The flame becomes irregular or starts to sputter.

STRAIGHT + STEADY

Tapers should always be securely placed in a taper holder to stay upright while burning. If they lean, they’ll drip. Keep them vertical for the slowest, cleanest burn.

DRAFT-FREE IS DRIP-FREE

Tapers are sensitive to their surroundings. Burn them in a draft-free space to encourage an even, dripless burn. A gentle environment = a steady flame.

Safety

Candle safety is all about remembering that a candle is an open flame and treating it accordingly. In addition, please consider the following:

  • Never leave burning candles unattended.
  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire.
  • Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Expectional quality

Every Slow Burn candle is made by hand out of the home studio of our founder, Sara Wait, in St. Paul, MN, using 100% pure beeswax sourced from local, family-run apiaries. The wax is triple-filtered for purity, then poured with intention into beautifully curated molds or hand dipped with care. Each candle is designed to burn cleanly and slowly, reflecting Slow Burn’s deep commitment to sustainability, artistry, and exceptional quality.
