Wickkedwixx

I prepped the wick by coating it in wax first and allowing it to dry. I wicked the metal mold and secured it in place at the bottom with a screw and mold putty. After I poured the wax I submerged the mold into the water bath. From there all seemed to go well. Until I have the candle to the recipient and she couldn’t light it. I tipped it upside down and several drips of water care out from inside of it, at the wick.. what am I doing wrong and how do I prevent this? Thank you in advance.

I have used water baths before with no problems but for some reason one of my recent ones got water all inside of the candle.. like the wick absorbed it. How do I prevent that from happening?
