All K. Hall Studio candles are hand poured in small batches using a 100% natural soy and vegetable wax blend. We take pride in the fact that our wax is made from soy and vegetables grown by American farmers.

The first time that you burn a candle, it should burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edges. Depending the size of the candle, this could take 2-3 hours. The wax has "memory" and doing this will help the candle burn longer and more evenly, while helping prevent the wick from funneling down in the wax.

Depending on how deep the wick has tunneled, there are different things you can try to fix it. If the hole is not too deep, you can wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the candle (leaving 1" above the top of the glass) or use a candle warmer. These will help retain the heat produced by the flame and help melt the wax off the sides that isn't being reached. If the hole is deep, we recommend scraping out the wax left on the sides and restarting the first burn process (as explained in the question above).

Trim the wick to 1/4" before you light the candle for each burn.

Yes! Many K. Hall Studio customers like to use their leftover candle glass as vases, containers or decorative accessories in the home after the candle has completed burning. To remove any excess wax, simply place the candle in the freezer. After several hours, the wax will harden and can gently be removed with a butter knife or blunt object. Any remaining residue can be rinsed out with hot water.
