How to use
- Stick the metal clip to the centre of the container.

- Before each lighting, trim off the burnt part of the wood.
- Run a burn test with your wax and fragrance.
FAQ
How many wicks should I use? In large containers, 2. If a ring of unmelted wax is left (tunnelling), the heat isn't reaching the edge: add the second wick.
Why is the flame small or going out? Usually because the burnt wood hasn't been trimmed: remove it before lighting.
