Why do my candles have sinkholes?

Sinkholes occur naturally from the process of the wax setting up. As wax is heated to melt it into liquid form, the wax expands literally taking up more space as it changes form from solid to liquid. This is the reasoning as to why sink holes can appear in your candles. Why do candles burn unevenly? If the wick in single wick candles is not well centered, it may cause the candle to burn unevenly. If it leans to one side, the flame will melt the wax on one side of your candle and not the other. To straighten the wick, gently push it with aknife until the wick is centered in the jar.

Is candle mushrooming normal?

It is a common occurrence and can be a sign that the wick is too large for the candle. Keep in mind that some wick series, such as the CD wicks, are prone to mushrooming more frequently than other wicks. If "mushrooming" occurs with your candle, we recommend trimming the carbon buildup off the wick between burnings. Is a mushrooming wick bad? The good news is, they aren't inherently harmful. Some candles form mushrooms every single burn, and the users don't even trim the wick. If you light one of these, you'll probably see a much larger flame until it's burned out because the carbon burns as additional fuel for the flame.
