Handpainted Cement Dory Boat Candle
Handpainted Cement Dory Boat Candle
This is a made to order product - casting, curing, painting and sealing takes around 4 days, and then the candle pouring and curing will take another 4-5 days. Please be aware after your order is placed, it may take anywhere from 8 - 14 days for your Boat Candle to be shipped or ready for pick up.
Individually handcrafted from high-strength, heat-resistant cement, each dory candle is truly one of a kind. Each one is sealed inside with two coats of eco-friendly, non-toxic sealer for added protection. We hand-paint every vessel using vibrant acrylics, then finish with a non-toxic, eco-friendly varnish for a subtle glossy sheen. A cork base is added to protect your surfaces from scratches.
Inside, you'll find 7oz's of our signature soy-beeswax blend, two crackling wooden wicks and phthalate-free, paraben-free fragrances.

Burning Instructions:
- Our wooden wicks come pre-trimmed and ready to light. When lighting as with any wooden wicks it is always easiest to hold the vessel, light the side of the wick and keep the vessel tipped for a second while the length of the wicks ignite
- To ensure your candle has the longest burn-time, be sure to keep the candle burning for a minimum of 60 minutes. Ideally, 3-4 hours, especially on your first burn, or until most of the boat has melted wax. Due to the shape of the boat, you may have wax remaining at each end.
- Do not burn your candle for longer than 4 hours. Long burns can result in excess sooting, reduced fragrance throw and shorter overall burn times.
- ALWAYS trim the charred bits off of your wooden wicks between uses. Not trimming your wicks can result in excess sooting, poor burns or discoloured wax.
- Do not put any objects in the wax, this can cause secondary ignition and is a fire hazard.
- Never leave your candle unattended, and do not place the candle near flammable objects, or in reach of children or pets. It is best practice to keep your candle on a heat resistant surface

Candle Safety & Directions
Candle Safety & Directions
Directions of Use:
- Always burn your candle on a stable, heat resistant surface.
- On your first burn, be sure to burn long enough for the melt pool to reach the edges of the tins (about 3 to 4 hours), this will help prevent future tunneling of the candle
- Choose an area away from drafts, open air vents or ceiling fans. This will help avoid rapid burning and prevent flare-ups.
- To prevent fire, do not leave burning candles unattended. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
- Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
- The candle container and wax will be hot when the candle is lit. If you notice your flame is getting too high, blow out your candle and trim your wick to 1/8 inch in height above the wax
- Do not burn your candle all the way down. Stop using the candle when there is 1cm of wax left at the bottom of the jar. Any left over wax can be removed and used in a wax melter
- Extinguish candle carefully, allow it to cool completely before touching or moving it.
- Your candle come pre-trimmed to the perfect wick height. On your next burns, trim your wick to 1/8-inch each time before burning
- Do not burn the candles for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent the candle from overheating
- Do not use water or any other liquid to extinguish your candle
