Dough Bowl Information + Warnings

What are dough bowls?

Dough bowls are wood bowls that are treated and stained to fit a certain aesthetic. They also make the elements of the candle for “rituals sake” feel more grounded. Each dough bowl is made of genuine wood which makes the individual pieces unique and one of a kind. There may be grooves and inconsistencies, but overall they are very similar in size and color.

Are the dough bowls safe for candles?

These wood bowls are safe for candles as long as they are burned using caution and awareness of how to use the vessel. Wood is naturally flammable, but we do everything we can to try and prevent any fires. The best prevention is awareness. It is up to the customer to burn this candle safely and if you choose to burn these candles you are doing it at your own risk. Witchn Wicks LLC does not take any responsibility for any mishaps caused from burning this candle. We urge the customers to read safety instructions and precautions on burning dough bowl candles carefully before use.

SAFETY TIPS FOR BURNING DOUGH BOWLS!

  • Keep burning dough bowl candles away from any hanging objects (drapes, scarves, jackets, plants, furniture, wall decor, carpets…) that can catch fire or may be damaged from the flame.

  • Do NOT burn candles when there is a breeze and all the windows are open. Be sure to turn off any fans that may alter the flame or create an unsafe burning environment. This will cause the candle to burn unevenly and can easily become a fire hazard. It is up to the customer to create a safe environment for burning the dough bowl candles.

  • Never leave the dough bowl candles burning unattended. Anything can happen in a moments time!! Be aware that there is an open flame and keep an eye on it. If you plan on leaving the room, extinguish the flame and then relight it when you re-enter the room.

  • Do NOT burn this candle all the way to the bottom. THIS CANDLE IS MADE OF WOOD. Wood can and will catch fire if exposed to an open flame. It is important to stay informed. Do not burn this candle entirely down to the wood. If certain areas of wood under the wicks become exposed before others, stop lighting that wick. This is for your safety.

  • We have tested and chosen wicks that do not burn completely to the edge of the wood on purpose to prevent any excess heating or the flame being exposed to wood directly.

  • Remove all larger crystals once you are able. If they do not come out from burning the wax, feel free to use a utensil of some kind to release the crystal from the wax. All the crystals used can be cleaned using warm water and a little bit of light soap and then used individually after.

  • All of our wood bowls are treated with a NON TOXIC flame retardent to create an extra barrier of protection.

  • Remember to trim the wick each time to 1/4” and it is not advised by to burn a candle for longer than 3-4 hours at a time. This is to prevent overheating, combustion of materials, and the candle burning unevenly.

  • Be sure to burn these candles on a level surface, tray, stovetop, or flat surface to prevent leaks, spills, or heat damage.

PROPER PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WHEN BURNING DOUGH BOWL CANDLES. THEY ARE MADE OF WOOD WHICH IS NATURALLY FLAMMABLE. IF YOU PLAN TO BURN THESE CANDLES, YOU WILL BE BURNING THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK AND UNDER YOUR OWN DISCRETION.
