Trappeur Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Need more info. What wax? What temperature did you heat to? What temperature did you add your oil and any additives? How much oil per pound of wax did you use? What temperature did you pour at? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'd say it's your wax. Are you using the KY133? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmeltswax Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Could try pouring at a lower temp.I noticed my melts sink when I pour to hot.I now pour around 150 .I use paraffin waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 As Trapp said, we need more information to properly help you. What wax are you using, what temps are you pouring at, are you using molds or clam shells, are you using additives, and if so which ones, etc., We could all guess, (as others have, and yes, it does sound like too hot of a pour) but that's all it would be is guessing without knowing more crucial information.

kandlekrazy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's funny you posted this because after many years I'm suddenly having the same problem. It went away for a bit and now it's back. I'm running my dehumidifier and I just don't know why they are sinking in the center other than it's C3 and a different case but I swear both cases were the same lot #. I hate second pours on clamshells because I end up with a mess. I guess maybe if I only fill to top of the cavity and then do a second pour it may help. A slight indent doesn't bother me but these are horrible in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
