Question 1

What are your candles made of?

Accepted Answer

GMW Candles are made from US-grown soybeans which produce
an all-natural soy wax.  GMW wicks are a high quality, flat braided cotton helping to insure a consistent burn.

Question 2

Burning your candle for the first time?

Accepted Answer

As a general rule of thumb, allow 1-hour burn time for each inch of diameter.
A 3" candle would be a 3-hour initial burn. If you don't allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt to the edge of the container, it will form a pool. Once this pool is formed the candle will continue to tunnel for the life of the candle.
