candle safety

Don't burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains (1/2 inch if in a container). And please use a candle snifter if possible. If not, hold your hand behind the flame and then blow gently. That will help stop candle wax from blowing also. Of course, you'll have a mat underneath......... but don't do it.
