text: Also try and leave the candles to burn for a full 4 hours, checking on it every now and then. Do you do full candle test burns? 4hrly bursts until the wax is nearly gone? Some candles if they're tunneling a little will catch up on the 2nd, 3rd or even 4th burns. This also is normal and really you shouldn't aim for a full melt pool on the 1st burn, just make sure the wax is as close to the edges as possible (just over 3/4s of the way to a FMP) x
