Candle Glossary
- Hot scent throw - fragrance strength when the candle is burning
- Cold scent throw - fragrance strength when the candle isn't burning
- Melt Pool - How well the candle burns across the top. Complete melt pool should be visible after burning for one hour per inch width. A three inch candle should be burned for three hours, extinguished, let cool and then you can relight.
- Triple Fragrance - The amount of fragrance oil that is mixed in with the wax is limited depending on the wax. If too much fragrance oil is used, the fragrance oil will seep out of the finished candle and it won't be safe to burn.
- Snuffer - an accessory that is used to extinguish the candle. The entire flame and wick is covered with the snuffer. This eliminates the opportunity for sparks to fly when the candle is blown out.
- Tea light - small candle in aluminum or clear container, needs to be in a proper holder before burning
- Votive - Generally a 2 oz candle, which is best burned in a tight fitting container
- Wick Dipper - a neat little tool that is used to dip the wick (while the candle is lit) into the wax melt pool. This eliminates smoke and the possibility of sparks flying. The wick is recoated with wax which aids in the burn time of the candle.
