Candle Followers
Candle followers, also referred to as candle burners or wax savers, are available in all sizes to fit the largest Paschal candle to the smallest Altar candle. Properly fitting candles with followers will insure maximum burning time and minimize the potential for problems.
A correctly sized follower is determined by the diameter of the candle to be used. Watra can assist you in selecting the proper size follower for your Cathedral candles.
A clean, glistening follower looks better and performs better. To remove any accumulated wax from the follower, immerse it in warm water and wipe clean with a soft cloth. Use of abrasives may affect the finish of the followers.
Minimum Burning Times
Candles once lit should remain burning for a minimum amount of time. The table below shows the recommended minimum burn time based on the diameter of the candle.
