Many factors can influence the burning performance of a candle. These include not only how the candle is made but how and where it is used.
Two types of materials serve as containers for long-burning candles: the open-top plastic container and the “restricted-neck” (often called a bottlelight) glass container.
For the best performance use your Devotion or Sanctuary Lights as follows:
Here’s why:
When lighting the candle, place the flame at the base of the wick until the wax starts to melt.
Never allow any foreign objects, (matches, lighting tapers or sticks) to drop into any candle.
Observe a few simple precautions, and you will be rewarded with a highly satisfactory performance from your Candle Followers. Their operation is based on the law of gravity.
Once a follower is seated, and especially after the candle has been lighted,do not break the seal.
