Matte Black Wick Trimmer
Wick trimmers are essential for any candle enthusiast since they allow you to cut the wick to the ideal length after your candle has burned. In compared to candle wicks that are not maintained during the course of a candle's life, candles that have been cut to the proper height will last longer, burn better, and be more fragrant.
These smooth matte black wick trimmers are the perfect companion to any candle collection. Heavy duty yet lightweight, they provide a clean and precise cut, and catch excess trimmings for disposal.
Candle Care
How to use your wick trimmer:
• Make sure to trim your wick before each lighting or once your candle has cooled to room temperature; never attempt to trim a burning candle.
• Place the trimmer's long handle against the inside of the jar's rim for guidance and bring the curved scissor blades to the wick, about 1/4" from the base and parallel with the wax.
• Trim your wick and discard the snipped portion in the trash. As a safety precaution, never leave wick trimmings (matches or other debris, for that matter) in your candle jar!
Additional tips:
Trim your wick before each lighting! If you are experiencing problems with smoking or your wick staying lit, it usually means your wick needs a trim. Wicks should be kept at 1/4" at all times. Your wick should be trimmed every 4 hours of burn time. This helps keep the flame the appropriate size for safety, and the longest possible burn time.
