Pillars
Our pure beeswax pillars are designed to be burned outside of a vessel. To burn pillars outdoors or in drafty environments use a hurricane-style glass that leaves at least 2” of space around the candle.
Pillars should be burned free standing on a level and solid heat-resistant surface. We recommend using a pillar plate or pillar holder when burning any one of our beeswax pillar candles to keep your surfaces free of any accidentally spilled wax or problems due to the heat of the candle.
Remember to remove the paper label from the pillar before burning.
All pillars should be roughly burned 1 to 1.5 hours per inch in diameter (see below for suggested burn times.) Or until the liquid wax pool reaches the edges of the pillar. Burning for an extended time ensures that the wick burns the candle evenly out to the edge which helps to avoid tunneling and relighting issues. Burning for longer periods than recommended may reduce the overall burn time for the candle. If the liquid wax pool has not reached the edge of the pillar at the recommended time, the candle may be helped by hugging the soft wax closer to the flame.
Please note that our sculpted candles are designed to “tunnel” so that the designs may be enjoyed while illuminated.
2” x 4.75” Diameter Pillars:
To avoid dripping or tunneling, Burn for at least 90 minutes per lighting. Burn no longer than 3 hours per lighting to maximize overall burn time.
3” x 3.5” Diameter Pillars:
To avoid dripping or tunneling, burn for at least 3 hours per burn. Burn for no longer than 5 hours per lighting to maximize overall burn time.
3” x 6” Diameter Pillars:
To avoid dripping or tunneling, burn for at least 3 hours per burn. Burn for no longer than 5 hours per lighting to maximize overall burn time
