Tealight Candles |
Troubleshooting Tips for Tealight CandlesDo you have a smoking candle? If your candle is smoking heavily then it’s more than likely that your wick is too large for your candle. First try trimming your candles wick which may be successful. |
If your candle continues to smoke after trimming its wick, you’ll have to use a smaller wick next time you make that particular candle.
Does your flame flicker and splutter?
If your flame flickers and sputters, water is either trapped in the wick, possible from a water bath (if you used one), or there is water in the wax.
Make sure that the wick hole in your mold is completely sealed and be careful not to let any water from your double boiler get into the wax.
