www.familyhandyman.com/article/candle-tunneling "There's a quick fix to prevent candle tunneling, AKA uneven wax melt. Here's what to do! It’s ugly, it’s frustrating and it’s definitely happened to all of us at least once: candle tunneling. If you’re a big Christmas candle burner like I am, you’ve encountered a candle or two that just refuses to melt all the way around. That’s the tunneling part — a solid wall of wax around the inside of the candle jar that just won’t go away. It usually happens when you don’t let a new candle burn long enough the first time you use it. It also occurs if a wick isn’t large enough, or it’s off-center...." My notes: I just dealt with it & didn't know there was a name to it!

We don't do candles anymore. I think candles are stupid lol Except if you lose power and need to see and don't have a flashlight.

I have made 3 emergency lights from lithium batteries and they work perfectly for me, before that we used to burn candles when their is no power even it is used outside in dark places.
Renewable energy is making to save wax and money for all of us.
We also use them in birthdays, but they were very little candles and thin stakes.

I had no idea that this type of thing had an actual term for it. It's quite annoying although we've never really thought of actually looking at preventing it. I might have to try the candle topper idea

Huh, interesting. My mom would have loved to read about this, she loved burning tons of candles and always got that type of issue. You would have thought by now most candles would have come up with a way to prevent this by now.
