Light candles in a draft-free room, away from fans, open windows or doorways.
Never leave matches or debris within the candle.
Collect Leftover Beeswax
Candle wax scraps don’t belong in the trash. Beeswax is biodegradable and can be recycled infinitely. I collect all my beeswax scraps in a big pot. Once the big pot is filled I render the wax in water to get rid of impurities. Once again the wax is perfect for candle making and crafts.
Bloom
Sometimes a powdery coating appears on the exterior of beeswax. This occurs due to fluctuation in temperature. A bloomed candle is safe to burn, or this powdery coating can be removed using a soft dry cloth.
Why is my taper dripping?
Hand dipped tapers are drip-less when burned on a level surface in a draft-free environment. Keep tapers away from the airflow of fans, windows, doorways or high traffic areas for an optimal burn.
