The Blonde Illusion Refill
This refill is 65 oz. and can only be used for the Blonde Illusion Vessel. Please make sure you have cleaned out any remaining wax from your Blonde Illusion candle before you add in the new refill. Recandling is easy. You will need to peel off the silicone before placing it inside the Blonde Illusion. Once you have positioned it properly inside you will need to reincorporate the edges of the refill with a heat gun to get rid of the gap between the candle refill and vessel. This takes aprox. 10-15 min. Do not hold the heat gun over your wicks or it will burn and turn them brown. You will want to keep your heat gun moving consistently while melting the wax. We have them for sale here.
Cleaning Instructions:
Make sure your vessel is properly cleaned out before adding the refill. Use hot water to soften the wax and stir with spoon. Let hot water cool before pouring out. Wax will float to the top. Pull out metal wick holders and wipe with a clean cloth. Check out our video below to see how it's done.

- 65 oz. Candle Refill
You could say that I'm a little bit of a candle connoisseur. I've always been obsessed with scent and use fragrance in my home and businesses. When you've been manufacturing selling candles for almost a decade, you learn a few tricks. These 5 candle burning tips will extend the life of your Thomas Blonde candles, prevent unsightly soot, and tunneling.
Tip #1: The First Burn
Always allow at least 45 mins- one hour to let the candle fully melt across the top. This is the most important process and determines the quality and life of the candle and eliminates tunneling of the candle.
Tip #2: Preventing Tunneling
Tunneling is when the wick burns straight down the center of a candle without creating a full melt pool. This typically happens when you don't allow the candle to properly burn the first burning session. We recommend always allowing the candle to fully melt across the top each burn session.
Tip #3: Trim Your Wick
Each time you want to burn your candle, start by trimming the wick to between 1/8 and 1/4 inches long. You can use scissors, nail clipper or a Candle Wick Trimmer, but no matter what you do, always trim your wicks. Why? First, trimmed wicks will give you a cleaner, brighter burn. Untrimmed wicks are a lot more likely to take on a weird mushroom type shape, which dulls and obscures the flame.
Tip #4: Keep The Flame Away From Moving Air
Do your best to keep your burning candle away from fans, air conditioners, open windows, or heavily trafficked areas where people walk back and forth a lot. Moving air can disturb the flame, leading to even more unsightly black marks on the glass.
Tip #5: Distinguishing The Candle:
Never Blow out the candle, always dip the wick in the melted wax to burn out. This will seal the wick for the next burning session.
