A Nuggets candle is a candle that when placed in water displaces more water by weight than the weight of the candle. So when it's placed in water it floats! However, not every candle can float! These candles are usually made in a round shape that allows it to float evenly where placed. Votive or Pillar candles would not be able to float even though they displace water because they are top heavy, so they would tip into the water. There are some tealight candles that can float, but the best choice is a traditional floating candle!
Where should you use a Nuggets candle?
A floating candle can go almost wherever there is water! Pools, vases, bowls, dishes, martini glasses, fountains, bathtubs, hot tubs and lakes. But they are not great for running water like rivers or streams. A very important bit of information about floating candles is to remember that the wick cannot get wet when placing in the water. If a 100% cotton wick takes on water, it will absorb that water. If this happens your burn time will be greatly impacted and you will be disappointed.
How should you use a floating candle?
Floating candles will instantly change up the look of a table, centerpiece or outdoor setting! While being absolutely beautiful, floating candles are so affordable they will fit into almost every budget. Plus the ease of using floating candles makes them a perfect choice.
