It is admittedly one of the most annoying sights to see when your candle starts tunneling. A total nuisance! Especially when you've invested good money for your favorite candles just to find them turning ugly and getting wasted. 🕯️ Unfortunately, this happens to any candles regardless of the price.
Time to stop missing out on your candles' full potential! Here are 5 simple and effective ways to fix it:
How to Fix Candle Tunneling
1. Use your handy hairdryer.
NOTE: Avoid pointing your blower to only one section for too long because you might burn the candle wick from prolonged overexposure to heat.
2. Wrap an aluminum foil around your candle's vessel (The Foil Method).
3. Pop it into the oven for 2 minutes.
NOTE: DO NOT put your candles inside a microwave oven! Candles usually have metal wick butts that can be dangerous when put inside a microwave oven.
4. Get a candle topper.
A candle topper is a nice accessory that typically works like TIP 2 - The Foil Method. It serves as an insulator to keep the heat equally distributed for the wax to melt all the way to the edge.
5. Move the flame of your candle around.
It's better to prevent these things before it actually happens. There are 3 simple tips to avoid candle tunneling when you light your first scented soy candle (LUMI).
How to Avoid Candles from Tunneling
1. Leave your candles lit up for a minimum of two hours every time you light them up
Let your candles burn 1-hour for every inch in diameter for easy trimming!
2. Let your candles create a wax pool
Allow your candles to heat up until the wax is melted all the way across the edge of their containers. This creates a flat surface on the top layer.
3. Place your candles away from fans or where the air is blowing
The flame should be staying still and pointed upwards to ensure even heat distribution and melting!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you microwave a candle to fix tunneling?
- No. Candles usually have metal wick butts that can be dangerous when put inside a microwave oven.
Why does my candle not burn evenly?
- The heat is generated from the middle so that is the area that would burn faster. Ensure that you burn your candle for 3-4 hours so the heat can spread through the entire candle surface.
How do I get my candle to burn evenly?
You can use a candle topper.
The simplest way is really to let your candle burn for 3-4 hours at a time.
Why do I get sinkholes in my candles?
Sinkholes occur when the wax cools much too quickly. Two things can cause this
- You poured the hot candle wax into a cool container
- You poured the candle wax too hot and it didn’t cool enough.
