Above all, be safe!  Remember these simple rules:
  1. NEVER leave a candle burning. When you go out, blow out.
  2. NEVER burn a candle near anything combustible.  As you will see on this web site, candles start fires after they fail.  Treat every candle as a failure waiting to happen.
  3. Don't burn a candle on any surface that you don't want permanently stained.  ALWAYS use a candle holder big enough to hold all of the candle wax should your candle fail.
