What causes some candles to leave wax on the side of the container or burn a hole down the middle of the candle?
This happens for several reasons. First, perhaps you did not successfully complete the “breaking in” process. In other words, maybe you didn’t burn your candle for the recommended amount of time the first time you burned it. Drafts may also cause uneven burning. Another reason could be a non-centered wick. If a wick should ever move to one side while burning, extinguish the candle and reposition the wick to the center of the container. Finally, and the most probable reason is improper wick size. Too often, candlemakers use the wrong wicks for the wrong purposes. Scented Specialties does extensive research and testing to make sure we use the right wick for the job.
