As our candles go out to some newer candle-lovers, I wanted to review a little bit of 
Soy Candle Maintenance! (Yes, there's maintenance.)
First things first, remember to trim your wick. Letting your wick get too long results in unsafe flames and reduced burn times!

Lets talk Melt Pool! When you light your candle, you want it to burn long enough to form a melt pool that reaches the edges of the container. Don't light it for ten minutes and blow it out.
Fun fact, soy wax has memory and will achieve a full melt pool easier once established.

Soy wax is SUPER soft! It begins to get liquidy quick and takes some time to harden. If youre taking your Cantrip Candle on the go, remember to extinguish it with enough time to cool so you dont burn yourself AND you dont have a backpack full of wax.
If you DO spill a candle, the cleanup depends a little on the surface but these tips help:
- immediately soak up what you can
- use a clean rag to "buff off" any remaining
- use a hair dryer to remelt the spill and soak it up.
- if hardened, use a hard edge to scrape up.

Don't leave your candle burning for too long!! With soy wax once a melt pool is established, the smells are coming.
Overburning (more than 4 hours) will start to really kick up the combustion rate and you're just wasting candle at that point.

That's all for now, I think- but I hope this helped. Read the WARNING LABELS at the bottom, they exist for a reason.
I guess this would be a good thread to take any related questions!
(Mmm... look at that melt pool).
