This is such a great video! Two things I do when I have not been able to burn the wax all the way to the side is, next time I make a tent with some aluminum foil with a hole in the top, it helps the wax on the side melt down. The other thing I do is, when I have a bunch of candle left but the wick is all gone, after its cold, I break bits of wax of at the bottom and put them into plug-in wax burners. I usually end up with completely clean jars doing this.

This will usually be because the candle is on an un-even surface so that wax pools on one side. This used to happen to me a lot until I discovered the table I was placing the candle on had a slight lean and wasn't completely flat. This can also happen if you leave your candle next to an open window as the breeze does the same thing. Try moving your candle to a different location and that should sort the issue.

You can save a candle if you already have a build up. Simply place your candle/candles in a pot of water on the stove and boil them on medium heat. Do not submerge the candles in the water, just enough water to cover the wax in the jar. Make sure that you keep the wicks straight while boiling. I myself use the lollipop sticks. Boil until all the wax has melted. This will give you a flat wax surface again. Hope this helps. I make candles myself all the time.

You can also take a dinner knife and gently loosen the soft wax that is part of that ring and bend it inwards and down so it has a chance to melt. It takes time and watching it closely so you don't bend too much wax down to melt so that melted wax doesn't "drown" the wick to the point the wick goes out and there isn't enough wick sticking out of the wax to light or keep it lit. It sounds as if it wouldn't work, but I've been doing that to large container candles since I was a teenager and I'm about to turn 71 in three days.

I make short candles in used Gu dessert jars, with wicks intended for candles about 3/4 inch smaller diameter than the jars. Left to their own devices, they would leave just under 1/2 inch of wax around the sides, but I place a small earthenware plant pot over them, raised about 1/4 inch off the surface, and the candles then burn completely, lasting between 9 to 10 hours. The heat trapped beneath the plant pot is what prevents the tunneling, and promotes a slow clean burn which helps warm a small room, with no sooting on the inside of the plant pot!

Make a foil "collar" for the candle, which will help insulate and direct the heat downward and if the tunneling isn't too deep yet, can actually help melt the wax all the way to the edge. I also like to do this on first lighting so that I can ensure that the wax melts all the way to the edge a little bit faster.

Good information. Thank you. You mention the "size" of the wick. Some candle makers don't make their candles with a wick of appropriate diameter.

Also, if the new jar can accommodate at least 2 wicks, this will also help prevent tunneling with the newly created candle.

If anything, I've been told to not burn candles too long because you are essentially burning off the oils which will leave you with a scentless candle. Weird stuff.

The point of many types of pillar candles is this effect. They act as decorative cylindrical colored lanterns. My Grandmother always had such a pillarcandle in her small kitchen lit for winter and early breakfasts and teatime, and was careful to get the more expensive ones that had that pillar effect. Partly bc it actually gives off much more light, partly bc it was placed in a window without a "storm glass" (protective cylinder, don't knoe the word for it in English). This function protects the candle from any effects of drafts, provides more protection for surrounding materials when burning and also when distinguishing (no spatter, and there's no running wax flooding your tray or dish. It's alot safer. It's what you'd expect from a better quality pillar candle especially ones with gradients of color. With the type of pillar candles often used in churches they are contructed to act like giant regular dipped candles, as the flame is the central symbol.

Well even if there is tunnelling, I absolutely don’t throw away the excess wax. When the candle is finished, I put a tealight in the middle.

Some candles just never burn totally. I use a candle warmer lamp and that does reset it.

Yes this is usually due to the wick size being too small.

I would never be able to burn candles if i waited to light one until i had enough time for them to burn all the way out to the edge.

You can sort out a tunnelled candle but wrapping tin foil around/over the edge of the jar. The reflected heat will help to melt it.

Thanks Natalie! I did try this once but didn't really have any success...?

When I have ended up with an inverted volcano as I think of it. I use a tool of some some sort, a nail file has worked for me. I scrape the edge of the candle at an angle to make loose wax, pour in to a toilet roll tube, then invert the candle, pour the loose wax back atop the wick making a little mountain and make sure that the wick has a little hole to pop out. Has given full wax burning and quadrupled my candles life time 😊

Make sure that on the first burn the wax melts right to the edge of the jar. Do this every time you light it and you shouldn’t get any tunnelling..

Great tip about the candle tunneling--that always happens to me and I finally know what to do! Also I see from the price tag on the bottom of one of the jars that UK folks pay a lot for candles too! I think candles are frequently overpriced.

@@cynthiacrawford6147 in the UK, VAT or Value Added Tax is included in the price you see. It will be shown on the receipt, but £13.75 would have been the price that was paid, unless there were any sales reducing the price.

@@lyannecb8499 very nice but still yall pay a lot in taxes. Our government is addiing more taxes too. Every time the dems get in office they go up. Then the reps lower it some but keep some. So both sides are messing us up. Plus we have no healthcare here. So at least your high taxes give you an occasional doctors visits.

Good advice, I don't do much candle burning since my cat got corkscrew shaped eyebrows from trying to sniff it 😂 they did fall off eventually

I have tunnelling problem with t-lights when they are left to burn from first burn to the end, what can be done about that?

Not too much I’m afraid. Sounds like the wicks in the t-lights are too small..
