Wild Things: Candle Refill - Crouching Tiger

Our Wild Things’ Refills are made in silicone moulds so that they are always the same size and uniform in shape, however the ceramic vessels which they go into can be slightly different in size. This is unavoidable due to the way the vessels are produced. We make these vessels in moulds but factors such as the age of the mould or where they are fired in the kiln will all mean there can be a tolerance on the vessel and your refill may not quite fit. If you are having problems fitting your refill into your empty cleaned out Wild Things vessel, follow these simple steps to get it to slide in easily.

What to do if your refill doesn't quite fit your vessel:

• STEP 1. Place your refill onto a chopping board or other surface.
• STEP 2. Use a blunt knife, a butter knife for example, to cut a thin layer of wax off of the base of the refill.The wax should be relatively soft so this won't take much effort. Keep the bits of wax you have cut off to one side.
• STEP 3. After you have cut a layer off the entire way around the refill, try it in the vessel to see if it fits.
• STEP 4. If you need to remove a little more, repeat steps 2 and 3.
• STEP 5. Once your refill is in the vessel, add the bits of wax to the top of the candle prior to lighting. If you have had to remove a lot of wax, we would recommend adding it over two burns so that the flame from the wick doesn't drown in wax.
• STEP 6. Your refilled candle will now burn for up to 55 hours.
