Burning Candles
What can be done to make candles more drip resistant ?
In some cases, such as with our taper candles, (this term generally only applies to candlesticks 1-1/2" in diameter and smaller) a special outer layer of wax is used. This layer has a higher melt point, and so does not melt as quickly as the center of the candle, forming a cup that holds the melted wax in. Our formal dinner, coach, club, and jumbo candles are made by striking the perfect balance of wax formula and wick size. Under ideal conditions these candles will not drip. But as with any candle, a draft or breeze could cause the flame or wick to lean to one side, which may collapse the "cup" that holds the wax in, causing the candle to drip. Even a ceiling fan, air vent, or open window could create enough of a breeze to cause dripping.
