What to look for in a candle shop in Metuchen

  • Support local Metuchen makers — small-batch candles are often better poured and better value than mass brands.
  • Ask about burn time and wick type; a cotton or wood wick and a full wax pool matter.

How much do handmade candles cost in Metuchen?

What is the best type of candle wax?

Soy, coconut, and beeswax burn cleaner and longer than paraffin and hold scent well. Many Metuchen makers use them, so ask what a shop pours.

Why is my candle tunneling or burning too fast?
