Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during the first burn to avoid tunneling.

Keep your candle away from drafts and fans, as they can cause uneven burning.

Question 9

These are common instructions and good practices for any candle to be safe and are meant to prolong a candle’s burn time.
A longer wick creates a larger flame which melts the wax faster.

Prevent soot and smoke.
Maintain a steady, even flame.

Question 12

What should I do if my candle tunnels?

Accepted Answer

Berryline Candles are flexible and may form a tunnel if burned for less than the recommended time. While the next burn of around 4 hours might not fully reach the edges, continued proper burns will eventually melt the wax and use it all, depending on the severity of the tunnelling. No tricks are needed—just consistency!

Question 13

How do I fix a wick that has become too short?

Accepted Answer

If the wick is too short:
Carefully remove some of the hardened wax around the wick with a spoon or knife to expose more wick.
Light the candle and let it burn long enough to establish a full melt pool.
Be sure to trim the wick appropriately for the next use to avoid the wick sinking too low again.
