1 You never want any soot or smoke at any time - ever.  Let the candle burn long enough to get the entire top liquid wax. This takes about an hour per inch in diameter of the vessel. So if your candle is 3 wide, let it burn for at least 3 hours. If it doesn't melt all the way to the edge don't panic, but get as close as you can. Sometimes the last 1/4 will burn as the candle goes down.
But don't burn out. In the perfect scenario, a person would burn their candles for four hours each time and not more than once every 24 hours to prolong the life of that candle. Burning for more than four hours can cause the wick to form a mushroom, or carbon deposit, on the tip and the more carbon, the more soot and smoke. Troubleshoot tunnels. According to Bresler, there are three ways to fix tunnels and even out a candle: 1  If the tunneling isn't very bad, lay the candle on its side and use your lighter to melt the wax away from the wick and pour it into the trash. 2  Cut out the wax that is above level of the wick with a butter knife.
