Every candle owner should own a wick dipper.
After burning your candle to achieve a beautiful fragrance, why would you want
to have that over powered by the smell of smoke?
Blowing out a candle to extinguish its flame can leave a room smelling like
smoke and possibly splatter melted wax on nearby surfaces. Using a wick dipper will eliminate that smoke and any splatter issues.
Simply use the hooked end of the wick dipper to push the burning wick into the
melted wax pool to extinguish the flame. Use the hook to retrieve the wick out
of the melted wax and recenter your wick. Now your wick is primed with wax as it
was when it was new. The wax coating makes the wick less brittle and will make
it easier to light. A wick that is too long or has mushroomed may spark and
sputter. Always trim the wick to ¼ inch length and remove any "mushrooming" that may have occurred.
If you notice that the wick is getting close to the side of the jar, extinguish
the candle and use the wick dipper to push the wick back to the center of the
glass. A wick burning too close to the side of the glass can cause the glass jar
to crack. Be sure to extinguish the candle and move the wick to the center of
the jar before that happens. This method of extinguishing your candle eliminates
wick smoldering and smoking, keeping your house free of smoky residue and odors.
This amazing little tool will extend the life and quality of your candle wick.
Wick dippers are for container and pillar candles only. Not for use on tapered
candles. Always follow the safety instructions on the bottom of your candle, read prior to lighting your candle.
