Candle Cure Time
Candles are often used as a way to make a room feel more inviting, by adding a touch of decoration and warmth. But, as anyone who has ever used a candle knows, they can also be a bit of a fire hazard. If you’re not careful, a candle can easily start a fire.
That’s why it’s important to make sure you’re always following the proper candle curing time. This is the amount of time you should wait after lighting a candle before blowing it out. If you blow the candle out too soon, the flame can go out of control and the candle can easily start a fire.
The proper curing time for a candle depends on the size of the candle. For a small candle, you should wait at least two minutes before blowing it out. For a large candle, you should wait at least four minutes.
It’s also important to make sure the wick of the candle is trimmed to the correct length. If the wick is too long, it can easily create a fire hazard. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch in length.
By following these tips, you can avoid any potential fires caused by candles.
