Jbruza Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Do you guys trim wicks before you sell them? I work with wood wick candles and when I see candles I see a mixture of wicks that are trimmed and ready to go as well as those that remain untrimmed for customers to trim themselves. What do you guys do with your candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Trim. Especially with wood wicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbruza Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 That's what I thought . Wood wicks are a pain to trim the first time you're unsure what you're doing LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Always, always, always trim the wicks correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I always trim to the correct length before selling or giving away. If I'm at a show/fair, I also have a little 1/2 page pamphlet letting them know the correct length to trim to, and the results of what not trimming before each burn can lead too (soot, mushroom, smoke, etc.,) and usually I reiterate that when I'm bagging their purchase by actually vocalizing that information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary in Canada Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I never understood why votives have a long wick, bent over when purchased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either, but when I make them (rare these days and usually only when family requests them) I always trim those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
