Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Candle Sand

Mistake 1: Overfilling the Container

Pouring too much Candle Sand into your container can lead to uneven burning or spillage. For a clean, professional look, aim for a sand height of about 70-80% of the container’s depth.

Fix: Use a measuring cup and follow the included instructions. Try the Bulk Candle Sand for larger setups.

Mistake 2: Incorrect Wick Placement

Fix: Place the wick in the center and ensure 1–2 cm protrudes above the sand surface for optimal burning.

Mistake 3: Using Non-Compatible Containers

Fix: Choose thick, heat-resistant glass or ceramic vessels. Candlera’s Candle Sand Buckets are ideal for bulk use.

Mistake 4: Ignoring Safety Precautions

Fix: Always use on a heat-resistant surface, never leave unattended, and trim wicks before relighting.

Mistake 5: Not Cleaning Up Properly

Fix: Use a spoon to scoop excess, then wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Candle Sand is non-sticky and easy to clean.
