How to fix candle tunnelling ( no foil ) ✅

How to fix candle tunnelling another method if you dont have any tin foil to hand. But be careful with this way.

I had no idea tunneling was because I blew them out too early I really appreciated everything in this video.

Hair dryer/heat gun does this trick far more safely. You could also do a shallow double boiler water bath just under the label-if that's your concern, otherwise use more water for a faster all over melt. Just recenter wick with a couple flat chop sticks.

I'm just going to say it now if you don't trust yourself to put the candle inside of the oven... you can just put boiling water in a small pot. Boil the water and place your candle in the middle without allowing the water to go into the actual candle. As this video says just make sure to keep an eye on it and wait for a pool of wax to form before taking it out.

Thank you for this!!! Jus fixed my Yankee candle, 25 mins in oven set at 100•c!! I checked every few mins!! #hero

This is a great method, thank you for making this video. I don't trust myself not to break the glass or burn myself, so I'll probably just turn the oven off and leave the door open until they are cool enough to pick up. 🙂

I did this today with a candle and it worked a treat! I also always have lumps left over at the end of a candle and I put them all in a Pyrex jug in the oven, then make wax melts from them

You shouldn't blow out candles anyway if you can help it. The BEST way is to put them out by dipping the wick into the melted wax. Not only does this make it easier to light them next time, but it also preserves the wick AND you won't have a room filled with smoke. ;)

I buy Jo Malone candles which are expensive and I got fed up with wasting so much wax caused by tunneling. I asked them in store and the advice they gave was to light the candle ONLY until the flat top layer has melted and then blow the candle out. They say that without the lid on, the scent will still fill the room for an hour or two after this, then put the lid back on until next time. They suggested the reason I was getting tunnelling was because I was leaving the candle lit for a few hours which they said was not necessary to enjoy the scent. I have a new candle and am going to try out what they have suggested. Great video by the way, and something I will try on my used candles.

I could listening to this voice all day

I'd rather wrap the top with tin foil. Putting them in the oven like that makes them release scent and all you're doing is scenting the inside of your oven instead of your house where you can enjoy it. Foiling it allows the lit candle to pool across the top while still scenting your home and you have a lot less of a risk of shattering the jar or burning yourself (taking them out of an oven).

AHHHH Thanks man, I tried using a lighter around the edges of the candle to try and melt them down, didn’t work at all so thanks ☺️👍🏼

Yaya I found out a solution to find ur lost wick so basically get a qtip (cotton bud) and cut it in half, poke the end into the candle near the wick but have the fuzzy part facing upwards and light the fuzzy bit and it burns down to ur wick woohoo also I wrapped tin foil around my candle and it fixed the tunneling and made it nice and smooth

Thanks for the video. I bought a candle from The Art of Shaving that started tunneling. The candles are not cheap considering I could probably just go to the dollar store and get one. So finding a way to fix it helped me get my money’s worth

[TeresaTifor]

TFS! Pretty cool method. I have only done the tin foil but love this. Also, thanks to you I dip my wicks to extinguish now and love it!

[KevinArcade]

If the wick is too short just carve the wax away and place a new wick. Then add the removed wax around the wick. Then use the oven method and you fixed it.

[marcinwitkowski]

use candle warmers :D got one and im pleased with it

Many people treat scented candles like air freshener - a quick fix. People don’t realize scented candles are meant to burn for at minimum 6 hours. If you burn them for a minimum 6 hours at a time, and trim the wick to 1/4 inch before burn, and no tunneling.

A wooden tooth pick works well too for a new wick. This is Ruby's 8 year old daughter.

Worked an absolute treat, thanks for this amazing lifehack! <3

[ashleymartinez]

Yes it does tunnel if you blow them out to soon… but also, if the wick is too small for the diameter, it will just keep tunneling!
