We recently updated our packaging! While supplies last, we've put first-quality candles in our old packaging on clearance. Otherwise, our factory 2nd votives have small cosmetic flaws, but will burn just beautifully.
Our pure beeswax votives, like other traditional votives, are made to become molten and fill the glass or holder they are contained in. To achieve the best results, burn inside a holder which fits the candle snugly. Using the proper holder, you can expect our votives to burn for at least 12 hours, making them a great bang for your buck.
All votives should be burned in a heat resistant container just wide enough to fit the votive and no larger. Votives are designed to develop a molten pool which fills the container. Using too wide a container will allow the wax to spread out and go unburned, radically shortening the overall burn time.
To remove any remaining wax, it is best to heat the holder in an oven at roughly 160 degrees for a few minutes and then wipe clean with a rag. You can also try freezing the holder to make the wax brittle and easy to scrape clean.
When a votive is towards the end of its life (1/2” left) let it burn till it goes out. This too will lengthen the overall burn time.
Using the proper holder you expect our votives to burn forup to 15 hours.
