You can get rid of that unsightly tunnel by folding a piece of aluminum foil in half wrapping it around the candle and then folding it up over the flame like a tent leaving a hole for it to get oxygen. But with a larger candle especially one that doesnt have multiple wicks youd be advised to wait at least 4 hours or until all the wax has melted completely before you put it out again. Burn the candle for roughly one hour for every inch the candle is wide.

If the candle is very wide only trim the wick to 8mm before the first burn. During the first burn you must ensure the candle has formed the wax pool wide enough to reach the edge of the container. When candles do not burn evenly the wax buildup can be cumbersome.

Once the wax builds up to a certain point the candle simply will not burn. Burn the candle one hour for every inch in width depending on the wax and its quality getting as close to the edge of the container as possible. It can also create black soot that could build up on the glass tin or even nearby objects in the room.
