This RiverDriveDesign Candle Topper adds style and function! Just set the heavy steel topper on top of your jar candle after lighting it (but let cool before removing!) They look great and they help your candle melt the wax all the way to the outside edge! Even if you have a candle which already started tunneling/coring, just let it burn long enough to melt the wax across the full surface. Remember, be sure to let it cool before removing it!!. The 4" size is our most popular. Bear in mind the larger diameter work as a more universal approach because they fit smaller candles, but obviously a 4" top will overhang a 3" candle. If you would like a custom size, send a message. If you have a brand new candle and the wick is so tall that it will cause carbon to build up on a topper, just burn the candle a while until the wick is lower. Not to to worry - the topper will help even the candle out once you are able to use it without the flame touching the topper. We use ONE-EIGHTH INCH THICK STEEL to make these, not thin tin, so that they work well and will last a lifetime. Does Thickness Matter? YES! But it can be confusing because a lot of ads say "heavy duty," "thick," or "very durable," or "gauge", but those are just words which confuse things. We use 1/8" thick metal. Let's put that in a list of thicknesses using common coins: 1/8" = .125" = 11 Gauge = Thicker than a Quarter and a Dime Stacked on Top of Each Other (2.4% Thicker). It is 250% thicker than 18 Gauge.
