Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. Let the first burn reach a full melt pool so the wax stays even. Keep the vessel on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, and never leave a flame unattended.

For reed diffusers, flip the reeds once a week. For incense, rest the stick in a heat-safe holder and let the ash fall there.
