Protect the item from extreme temperatures. Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or in an area with extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can cause the cement to crack or become damaged.
Handle the item with care. Cement is a strong and durable material, but it can still break or chip if it is handled roughly. Handle the item gently and avoid dropping it or putting too much pressure on it.
Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch. This will help the candle burn more evenly and reduce the risk of the flame becoming too large.
Avoid burning the candle for too long at a time.
Keep the candle away from drafts. Candles can burn faster and unevenly if they are exposed to drafts, so it's best to keep them in a location where they will be protected from drafts.
Don't leave the candle unattended. It's important to always keep an eye on a lit candle, as they can pose a fire hazard if left unattended.
Store the candle properly. Candles should be stored in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, to prevent them from melting or becoming misshapen.
