To check the shade, drop a few drops of wax into cold water. Overdosing can impair burn quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting the wick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a Flat P3 wick suited to the 72 mm diameter. Tie a double knot at one end, then insert it through the hole in the mould. Seal the base properly with sealing putty or a plug to prevent any leaks. Keep the wick well centred using the metal needle supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePouring and filling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour the liquid wax into the mould.
