A must have for serious candle users. It's important to trim the wick of your candle with each use to 1/4" to get the safest and most satisfaction when burning your candles.
Trimming your candle to 1/4" if needed prior to relighting helps to prevent the candle from puffing that annoying black smoke (there can be other reasons for this as well).
We also believe it helps the candle burn slower due to a shorter flame length which decreases the heat/evaporation of the wax.
This tool is perfectly engineered, the base is exactly 1/4" thick, so it measures the cut for you. When you trim the wick the debris is captured in the area formed when the cutters come together. Also, because the tool is curved, it can be used as you burn your candle down into the vessel, where scissors can't reach! Perfect!
This is the trimmer Bougie Napa uses!
