Allow the entire top layer of wax to liquify to the edge during the first burn.
Trim the wick to 1/4 length after approximately 3 hours of steady burning, allowing the wax to solidify first.
Avoid short burns; keep the wick vertical, close the candle with the wooden lid to extinguish.
Trim the wick before each relighting, waiting at least 1 hour for the wax to solidify.
