What is the best way to burn my votive?
When burning a votive, it MUST be placed in a small glass votive cup. If you can find one that is the same size as the votive, your votive will burn for 15 hours. You must pay attention to the wick when burning a votive. It’s best to trim your wick every couple hours while burning it so your flame doesn’t get too long thus inviting black smoke. Votives are made from softer wax. This is so it will melt faster and the liquid wax will then release the wonderful scent. Notice the little black spot in the bottom of the glass. This is where we have trimmed the wick and it has fallen to the bottom of the glass. Votives can be burned for as little as five minutes or as long as fifteen hours.
