I’ve got a few smaller jar candles; will this plate be big enough?

This round acacia wood plate is suitable for most jar candles up to approximately 9cm in diameter. However, a large three-wick tin candle would overhang the edge slightly – you might consider using a separate coaster beneath it to prevent wax spillage.

What’s the best way to burn this plate for the first time?

For the initial burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface of the wax to melt completely – ideally up to 1 hour. This establishes a ‘memory ring,’ preventing excessive tunnelling and ensuring a cleaner, more even burn in subsequent uses.

About this candle

Does the basic job of catching wax drips and protecting furniture, and the acacia grain looks better than the usual plain wood or plastic coaster. Large enough for most jar candles up to 9cm, though a big three-wick tin will overhang the edge slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The acacia grain offers a more attractive surface than plastic or cheaper wood coasters. It's designed to catch drips effectively, but you should still place your candles on a stable surface and consider using a protective mat underneath for extra peace of mind – particularly with larger jar candles.
