This may seem a little drastic...but it saved my multi wick candle from it's demise: cut the candle. you carefully even out the candle around the strings (wicks) slicing only wax.
it is now "like new"... but shorter. Infantessimally shorter though, you'll never miss the bit you had to remove, unless the problem is REALLY advanced (has been going on since the dinos roamed pangea or something ....LOL)
P>S> Happy early Birthday in case I don't run into you on a post/chat any time soon. It's been awhile. August, I think.
Ready for baby?
