Candle Burning

Candle burning Question?
Ok, so everytime I burn candles, I'm left with all the wax around the candle and a "hole" in the middle where the wick was. Any ideas how I can salvage that extra wax and and ideas how I can burn the whole candle at once. Why does this happen?
try placing your candles in an area that is away from all drafts - i.e. not in/near a window, heating/cooling vent, doorway, etc... that will help the candle burn more evenly. also, turn the candle a few times while it is burning, again to even out the melt. there is little you can do to prevent the "hole" in the candle, because for safety most are designed to make the well so that the burning wick & hot wax are somewhat contained. also, as a previous poster suggested, get one of those wax popourri pots (the ones designed to burn the little scented wax pellets) and break up the leftover candles into small pieces & burn. just make sure not to overload the pot, because then you will have melted wax everywhere.
if the candle burns relatively even, you can insert a slightly smaller candle into the remaining wax well. sometimes that creates a nice glowing wax piece, especially if you drop in one of those tea candles in the metal cup. also, give soy-based candles a try. they are supposed to burn more evenly, and put off less soot into the air as well.
