Wick Trimmer

Trimming the wick to 7mm prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot buildup and helps the candle burn more evenly. This specific length also prevents the wick from 'mushrooming,' ensuring a cleaner, longer-lasting burn.

The trimmer is designed with a reach that accommodates most standard candle jars. However, for very deep or narrow vessels, ensure the trimmer head can comfortably reach the wick base before use.

Tunneling often occurs when a candle burns unevenly or too quickly. By maintaining a consistent, shorter wick length, you control the heat output, which encourages the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface rather than just down the center.

To keep the gold plating in top condition, simply wash the trimmer in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the finish.

This trimmer is specifically engineered for cotton wicks. Using it on wood wicks may damage the blades or fail to provide the clean cut required for wood-wick performance.
