  1. Oh hahaha oh I didnt even notice! On first glance I couldnt see what you were talking about but I see it now. Ill mention this….I went into Yankee Candle a few months back and was HORRIFIED at the condition of these candles they were selling. Wax pulled away from the glass all over the candles and looked blotchy, bumpy tops, wet spots on top, craters and sink holes, you name it every flaw we try to fix they had it all. People actually buy these candles looking like this?! So, it made me step back and wonder what all my fuss was about. Who doesn’t want the perfect looking candle right!? We all strive for perfection….. but as my neighbor said (and she bought a lot for party favors and is an event coordinator ) “ these minor imperfections as you call them just add to charm of handmade candles and I don’t even notice them! I like it”. Perhaps its really only you that notices the flaws because it seems no one else thinks so. Don’t be so hard on yourself 🙂 Easy for me to say, right?! I use 464 and I pour in a really cold room in my basement. I use clear glass vessels and sometimes I get the wax shrinkage in certain spots. In the winter I have to hit the tops with my heat gun a lot and sometimes it fills in the spot and sometimes it doesn’t. I always pick the worse side for the label so you can’t really tell. Summer i get almost perfection. Temperature for me seems to rule the outcome.
