How to Fix Candle Tunneling (5 Simple and Effective Ways)
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. Turn your hairdryer on to the "Hot" or "Heating" option. Direct the hot air towards the uneven sides of your candle. Workaround this portion of uneven wax to spread it evenly. Keep at it for a minute or two depending on the heat from your blower. 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). Cut the appropriate amount of aluminum foil to completely cover the top of your candle jar Wrap this tightly around your candle jar Light your candle and allow the heat to spread Aluminum foil will retain the heat inside longer and give enough time for the sides to melt 3. Pop it into the oven for 2 minutes. Set your oven at around 80 Degrees Celsius / 175 Fahrenheit. Heat for 2 minutes. It will evenly melt the top of your candles giving it a smooth and even finish. 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. Hold the container and tilt it to the uneven part of the candle Intentionally melt the wax of your candles. 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! By the way, if you want to have a look at our scented soy candles (LUMIs), you can check our full collection. 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.

5 Things to Know About Soy Candles and Paraffin Candles
The long-burning is over! Paraffin Candles lost 8-9 hours short to Soy Candles. In other words, you get more value for money by choosing Soy Candles over the all-so mainstream Paraffin Candles. How is this? Let's begin by differentiating the two. Paraffin wax is a by-product of refined gasoline coming from crude oil that consists hydrocarbon mixture, while soy wax on the other hand, from the name itself, gives it away. It comes from soybeans more specifically from unsaturated fatty acids that were converted to saturated fat which makes it natural and a more stable compound. As opposed to paraffin, soy wax is purer and more intact - thus makes it burn at a lower melting point. In any case, this is not why we are writing this blog. We just want to put it out there to prevent any confusion 🤪 So, going back to our main topic, here are 5 THINGS you should know about Soy & Paraffin Candles: 1. Soy Candles burn longer than Paraffin Candles Soy wax requires more heat to burn, while paraffin wax reacts fast to heat and therefore burns faster. 2. Soy wax is from soybean fat while Paraffin wax is a by-product of refined gasoline/petroleum To be straightforward about it, soy wax burns cleaner since it is vegetable-based and non-toxic, while paraffin wax holds a lot of impurities and leaves stains on nearby surfaces or containers being used. 3. Paraffin wax has a stronger scent throw than soy wax Paraffin wax holds more scent and releases stronger fragrance over soy wax. This is because paraffin wax burns faster thus emit fragrance faster. Soy wax, on the other hand, takes more time to burn and emits a more subtle scent. 4. Paraffin wax is non-biodegradable while soy wax is 100% biodegradable Paraffin wax, like plastics, requires approximately 100 years to completely breakdown which is NOT good for the environment. It also releases petro-carbon soot that is harmful to health. On the contrary, soy wax is soot-free and emits 0% petro-carbon soot which does not pollute the air quality where it is being lit. 5. Soy candle stains are easy to remove Soy wax can easily be washed off just by using regular hand soap. With paraffin wax, you easily ruin a beautiful shirt because of its wax's stain. Have you ever accidentally spilled a regular candle on your hand? It hurts, doesn't it? This is not the case for soy candles! 😉 Ultimately, soy candles succeed paraffin candles in more ways than what we have shared. This explains why soy candles are priced higher than paraffin candles. BUT what if there is a store that sells cheap - premium scented soy candles? One that is cheaper (and healthier) than any other well-known paraffin wax-based candles in the market? That would be great, isn't it? Look at our site to find these! Facebook | Instagram | Linkedin Subscribe to our mailing list to receive more similar articles like this! Got a question?
