How to Burn your Unscented black candles for that "Melted Tunnel" Effect:

To achieve the desired melted tunnel effect without compromising the black candle's burn quality, extinguish the candle before the melted paraffin reaches the edge of the candle and let it cool fully before re-lighting. This technique takes advantage of a candle's "memory," allowing it to continue burning down the established tunnel during the next lighting. To do this:

  • Monitor the burn: Keep an eye on your candle as it burns, and observe the wax pool as it approaches the edge of the candle
  • Extinguish the candle: When the wax pool is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1-2 cm) away from the edge, gently extinguish the flame using a candle snuffer 
  • Allow the candle to cool: Let the candle cool completely before relighting. This helps solidify the wax and reinforce the tunnel shape.
  • Trim the wick: Before relighting the candle, trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6 mm) to maintain a clean, even burn.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to trim your unscented black candle wicks properly:

  • Gather your tools: You'll need a wick trimmer, a candle snuffer, and a small plate or tray.
  • Wait until your candle has cooled down: Ensure that your candle has been extinguished and has cooled completely before trimming the wick. This helps prevent accidents and ensures accuracy.
  • Determine the proper wick length: A general rule of thumb is to keep the wick at about 1/4 inch long 
  • Trim the wick: Using your wick trimmer or scissors cut the wick to the desired length. Be careful to maintain a straight, even cut to prevent uneven burning.
  • Remove the trimmings: Use your candle snuffer or tweezers to remove the trimmed wick pieces carefully, then place them on the plate or tray. This helps keep your candle and surrounding area clean and tidy.

To make the most of any Hudson Grace scented candle experience, follow these simple care instructions:


  • Allow the candle to burn for two to three hours each time, making the entire surface liquid. This practice, known as "candle memory," helps ensure a clean and even burn throughout the candle's life. It also ensures you burn your entire candle. If you prematurely blow out your candle before the entire surface is molten, it will remember exactly how far to the edge it last melted and will only burn in a funnel down from that point on!
  • Trim the wick: Using your wick trimmer or scissors cut the wick to the desired length. Be careful to maintain a straight, even cut to prevent uneven burning.
  • Remove the trimmings: Use your candle snuffer or tweezers to remove the trimmed wick pieces carefully, then place them on the plate or tray. This helps keep your candle and surrounding area clean and tidy.

Whether you choose scented or unscented black candles for your home, Hudson Grace's black candles are the perfect addition to any setting, seamlessly blending tradition, elegance, and modernity.
