Okay, I am not completely stupid…I do know that you use it to smother the flame and put it out.
However, I am trying to figure out how to do it like on a candle other than a taper, such as a pillar or one in a jar or whatever. I have never had a snuffer and always just blow out the candles. But I just acquired a really neato one, because it matches my stuff and I just had to have it (you know how girls are…)
Anyhow, I can’t understand how it is going to smother the flame without getting wax all over the bottom of it. Am I missing something here? Are they really only supposed to be used to put out tapers? Should I just keep it for pretty decor?
What’s the scoop on them? Please fill me in. I know that really, they are kind of an old fashioned thing, but wonder if they are actually useful in this day and age…
I have a snuffer and use it on all candles, especially the votives that are hung on my wall and hard to reach. Yes, the wax does get all over the bottom of it but it washes off. Just because something was invented for a specific use doesn’t mean alternate uses can’t be found. They’re useful because when you blow out a candle you risk embers flying and setting something on fire.
You use it on a taper, and no other sort of candle. They were invented for tapers.
As far as I know they only work for tapers… If it’s pretty you can just use it for decoration though.
a candle snuffer is for tapered candles only, not pillar or ones in jars
