If a candle is in a draught, the flame will blow about, usually leading to wax dripping or flowing down the leeward side of the candle. Dripping can also happen as a result of the following conditions:
1/. Candles are burning too close to each other or to a heater or fire.
2/. If the wick is off centre or leaning over to one side.
If you want to burn a lot of candles together, put them on a tray - and keep an eye on them. Leaning wicks may need trimming or just straightening. Off centre wicks can usually be moved back to the centre once the wax has softened from a period of burning. (Use something metal; such as a screwdriver, knife, spoon or scissors).
