Why do my candles sink?
Wax sinks when it sets because as the wax cools, it slowly contracts and can leave what I refer to as 'sink holes' in the middle of your candles, but can also present as sunken dips around the wick. The spots are caused by shrinkage and air bubbles that occur as the wax is cooling inside the container.
Accordingly, is wick mushrooming normal?
The most common reason for mushroom wicking to occur is down to the size of the wick you have opted for. Usually a wick that is too big causes more wax to be sent to the flame than it can handle. As the flame is unable to burn the wax it has accumulated, carbon begins to build up forming the mushroom wick. And another question, why does my candle spark? If this is the case, you probably have been lighting your candles for way too long and not trimming the wick. This is the result of the candle consuming more wax than it can burn. Lighting a "mushroom" can lead a wick to crackle and pop and release soot into the air and onto your candle container.
Accordingly, why do candles flicker when there is no wind?
However, there are two main reasons why candles flicker even when there is no wind! The wick is too long. There are impurities in the candle wax. Also, are candle wicks supposed to turn black? The most crucial step in getting your candle off to a good start? "Trim that wick!" Huber insists. "As the wick burns it becomes black and sooty by nature," Huber explains. "That soot will rise up when you re-light the wick." So to avoid finding yourself in a cloud of black smoke, trim the wick every time you light.
What time is Phahla?
My phahla can be anything between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how busy I am that day and how much I have to say. If it's cut short in the morning, I try to phahla again in the evening just to thank them for their protection throughout the day.
