Burning Instructions

For burning, a votive candle should be placed in a glass holder atop an insulator such as a coaster or a piece of cork placed inside the shell. The glass heats up and will melt right out the bottom if an insulator is not placed between the glass and the wax shell.

Although not usually a problem on large hurricane shells, those made in smaller diameters may soften when burned for extended periods.

One of the nice things about this style of candle is the fact that since it is never actually burned, it will last for a very long time. The scent can easily be changed by changing the votive as well.
