Remove some wax and re-burn the candle to level out the wax melt.
When the candle wax is solid, carve out a "moat" from the wax, around the circumference of the candle, by running a knife (or spoon) around the edge of the glass. Depending on how short your wicks have gotten, make your moat about 1/2" deep by 1/2" wide (for a 4" diameter candle). It doesn't have to be pretty; it'll all smooth out when re-burning.
Next, scoop out the wax berms between the three wicks and in the middle of the candle. Depending on how shallow your wicks have gotten, you could go 1/4" to 1/2" deep here.
Then relight the candle and let it burn for several hours until the wax has re-leveled itself. You can help it along by gently tilting the candle in a circle after about an hour of burn time.
Repeat as needed.

How can I optimize my candle's burn time by implementing wick rotations?
To optimize your candle's burn time with wick rotations, regularly trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. Rotate the wick each time you light the candle to ensure even burning. This can help prevent tunneling and extend the life of your candle.
How long will it take for a candle wick to burn down?
The time it takes for a candle wick to burn down depends on various factors such as the size of the candle, the material of the wick, and the composition of the wax. On average, a standard candle wick can burn for several hours before needing to be replaced.
What is the name of the part that you burn on a candle?
Wick
What is candle wick called when burnt?
The burnt part of a candle wick is called a "wick trim" or a "candle snuffer." It is the charred portion of the wick that remains after the candle has been burned. It should be trimmed before each use to ensure a clean and efficient burn.
What is the difference between melting of candle wax and burning of candle?
Burning a candle is the process in which the wick is burnt. The wax is there to make the wick burn slower in order to let the candle burn for longer. Melting wax is part of the process but not burning the candle itself.
Where does a wick come from from a candle?
A candle wick is typically made from braided cotton fibers that are specially designed to absorb and draw up the liquid wax to be burned. The wick is inserted into the candle during the manufacturing process and is an essential component for the candle to burn properly.
Is it possible to burn the candle at both ends?
Yes. The wick goes all accross the candle. You simply burn the bottom of the candle a little and the wick will stick if the bottom burns enough. So you lay the candle and stick it on a square object and light both ends of the candle.
What Burns longer a white candle or black candle?
The color of a candle does not affect its burn time. The burn time of a candle is determined by its size, wax type, and wick quality.
Why does a candle have a wick?
The wick acts as a fuel delivery system for the flame. When the wick is lit, the heat from the flame melts the wax around it, which is then drawn up the wick via capillary action to be burned.
Are you supposed to cut candle wicks?
Yes, trimming the wick of a candle to about 1/4 inch before each use helps promote an even burn and prevent soot buildup. Always trim the wick when the candle is cool and not burning.
How long does it take for a white colored candle to burn out?
It takes a white candle to burn out like 2 and a half hours maybe even 3 hours.
Can a candle burn upside down?
No, a candle cannot burn upside down. The wick needs to be positioned at the top to draw up the melted wax and fuel the flame. Burning a candle upside down would prevent the wick from functioning properly.
