2. “Help? I’ve already lit my candle and do not see my message”

To ensure you receive your hidden message make sure you light your BYB candle for 3-4 hours on your first burn to avoid the “tunneling” effect. The only way to guarantee you will see your message is to make sure the melted wax reaches the edges of your candle the first time you light it.

Soy Wax holds memory so your first burn sets up the scene for the entire candle.
