Why Should You Use a Candle Topper?

Our Candle-Saver™ Brand Candle Toppers add style to both lit and unlit candles while helping them burn more evenly.

Made in the USA of hand-finished steel, they reflect heat to melt wax uniformly. This prevents wasteful, unsightly tunneling and coring. 

How Do I Use My New Candle-Saver™ Brand Candle Topper?

Step 1:

Check that your Candle-Saver™ topper fits your jar candle.  It is okay if it overhangs.

Step 2:

Trim the wick to 1/4” each time before lighting, including the initial burn.  This will help to reduce soot build-up.

 

Note:  Some jar candles are filled to the very top with way.  Skip using the topper until the wax has been used up enough so the flame will not hit the topper.  Otherwise, you will get soot. Not to worry, the topper will correct any initial coring which happens as you get the wax lower in the jar.

Step 3:

Light your candle and set the topper in place.

 

Note: Candle wick placement and length can vary so it is important to place the topper carefully (especially on new candles) to avoid/minimize contact between the flame and the topper.  Different topper styles offer various openings to fit your needs.

Step 4:

Let the candle burn long enough to melt the wax across the full surface.

Step 5:

When you are ready, blow out the candle, but leave the topper in place until it is cool!  IT IS HOT!!!! Also, never move the topper until the wax is solid and the topper is cool.

Helpful Tips

  • To avoid soot build-up from the initial burn, be sure to trim wicks to 1/4″ before lighting.
  • Some candles may need some initial burning before using the topper to avoid soot build-up. Not to worry, the topper will correct any coring from the initial burn once it is used.
  • Candle wick placement and length can vary so it is important to place the topper carefully on new candles to allow for the least amount of contact between the flame and the topper.
  • Note that if you pick a style which has a design over the area where your wick is, it is not a problem, just burn the candle until there is a 1/2″ gap first, so that it does not build up carbon.  Not to worry, the topper will then help your candle melt evenly once you start using the topper.
  • Just a reminder – – Toppers are HOT after using.  Please blow out your candle and allow to cool before moving.  Once the wax is solid, the topper is cool.

How To Measure Your Candle

To measure for your topper, you need to find the diameter of your candle in inches.

  • Place a ruler or measuring tape across the center of the topper- this should be the widest point.
  • If the candle ‘s diameter is the same or smaller than that of the topper, the topper will work.
  • If the candle’s diameter is greater than that of the topper, the topper will not stay in place on the candle.

Which Topper is Right for My Candle?
