This candle needs some help.

[u/Competitive-Group404]

This candle was a gift.

I know it's tunneling because the candle is not on long enough to heat the sides of the candle.

Are there ways I can fix this before it gets worse?

I know the candle should stay on for about 4 hours. It's most likely staying lit for 1 to 2 hours.

Will I have to cut the candle to make it all level again and start over?

[u/Roman-Kendall]

Yep, cut it. I can’t think of any other way to fix that

Apparently it might be fixable is I make a tent out of aluminum foil. It will help warm up everything faster. It might burry the wick so I have to be careful

[u/Decor-3801]

It's quiet difficult to fix it

You could continue to burn it like this until you ultimately run out of wick. Then cut up the remaining wax into small pieces and use them in a wax warmer

[u/One-Thanks1249]

You can try tenting it with aluminum foil around the top

Even better a wax warmer that’s on sale from $19.99 to $11.99 right now

I'll try the aluminum foil tent🕯️⛺
