Making Pillar Soy Candles

Include safety information about using soy candles.

Soy candles should always be used and stored safely. Keep the area well ventilated when burning, as improper ventilation may create smoke or soot. To minimize risks of fire hazard or product damage, always keep soy candles away from drafts, windows, fans, or any other sources of air current. Keep the wicks trimmed to approximately 0.25 inches to help reduce potential flame or smoke issues. Always burn soy candles on an appropriate heatproof surface away from flammable items and decorations. Be sure to keep the wax pool free from debris like matches and wick trimmings. Soy candles can liquify quickly; make sure that holders are heat resistant and not likely to cause spilling when filled with hot liquid wax. Never leave candles unattended, especially near children or pets, and make sure that candles are fully extinguished after each use. Additionally, make sure that temperatures do not exceed 120F (48C) when handling melted wax as this can cause severe skin burns if it comes into contact with skin.
