What happens if you don't trim the wick?
Trimming the wicks will keep the candle burning without any black soot and it will give your candle a longer burn time. Here is what happens when you do not trim the wicks properly. When a wick gets too long it cannot draw wax all the way up to the top of the wick. Therefore, the wick itself will start to burn.

Accordingly, why is my candle not burning properly?
Candle wax is not burning evenly all of the way down: Possible Causes: Wick may not be centered, wick may be too small, your wax may be too hard (too high of a melt point). Candle may be in a draft, under a fan, near a vent. Try using a softer, lower melt point wax or try using a larger wick. Why do my candles sink in the middle? Wax sinks when it sets because as the wax cools, it slowly contracts and can leave what I refer to as 'sink holes' in the middle of your candles, but can also present as sunken dips around the wick. The spots are caused by shrinkage and air bubbles that occur as the wax is cooling inside the container.
Accordingly, can you microwave a candle?
Another way to melt wax is in the microwave. Some people choose this method as they can melt the wax faster than if they were using a double boiler. Pour your wax into a microwavable container. Continue heating your wax in 2-minute intervals until it's fully melted.
