Your candle will be ready approximately 2 hours after you finish pouring.
While it cures, we encourage you to explore downtown Zelienople.
-
Burn time depends on the vessel you choose, but every candle is designed to provide many hours of enjoyment with proper care.
-
Trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn, allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges, and burn for 2–4 hours at a time. Always keep your candle on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable items. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains.
-
Once your candle has fully cooled, pop the vessel into the freezer for a few hours or overnight. The wax will shrink and should lift out easily. Remove the wick tab, wipe the vessel clean, and bring it back to Zelie Candle Bar for a refill discount.
-
Your candle continues to develop after pouring. For the best fragrance performance, we recommend allowing your candle to cure at least 2 days before lighting it.
