Instructions

Chameleon Sand Candles offer a delightful and effortless way to create personalized and captivating ambiance. While the instructions for using our candles are minimal, they play a crucial role in ensuring an optimal and safe candle experience.

By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy your Chameleon Sand Candle without worrying about smoky jars, waxy vessels, or candle tunneling. We want your experience to be hassle-free and enjoyable, so let us guide you through the instructions that will help you get the most out of your Chameleon Sand Candle.

1. Pour the candle sand into the vessel

For optimal performance, we recommend using a vessel with a width of at least 9 cm. This ensures that the melt pool doesn't reach the sides of the container.

While a fireproof vessel is preferred, you can also use other containers as long as they are wide enough to maintain a safe distance between the melt pool and the edge, preventing the container from heating up excessively. Leave at least 5cm between the wick and the edge of the vessel.

2. Insert the wick

When inserting the wick into the candle sand, remember to leave out a 0.5-1 cm end only. Leaving out a longer end will significantly reduce the burn time of the wick, as it will burn rapidly until it reaches the candle sand.

By following this simple guideline, you can ensure your wick burns for 10-12 hours.

3. Light the candle

Relax, unwind, and savor the ambiance created by your beautifully lit candle.

Caution! Avoid touching or moving the candle while it is lit or the wax is still hot. Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects. Burn within sight. 

4. Relighting & refreshing the candle

If you wish to relight the candle, first check the length of the remaining wick by lifting the set wax out the candle sand. 

If there is no wick left or if you want to freshen up the candle's appearance, discard the solid wax and insert a new wick. 

If there is still some wick left, you have two options: you can either place the solid wax back into the sand as it is or break the sides of the set wax and put it back into the sand. For a cleaner look, insert the set wax into the sand upside down.

Using essential oils

Chameleon Sand Candle is fragrance-free, however, you can use essential oils to create a gentle aroma. Just add a few drops of your preferred essential oil around the wick before lighting the candle.

It's important to remember not to add essential oils while the candle is already burning.

Please keep in mind that using essential oils differs from using artificially scented candles. The scent will be more delicate and natural and best suited for small spaces.

Safety

Chameleon Sand Candle offers a higher level of safety compared to regular candles. Sand candles self-extinguish when tipped over, minimizing the risk of accidents and potential fire hazards.

Additionally, sand candles are designed to self-extinguish once the wick burns out, providing an added layer of reassurance.

With Chameleon Sand Candle, you can enjoy the warm glow and calming ambiance without worrying about potential dangers.
