Thank you for all of your replies. I had read posts about letting the candle cool in the microwave, so that's why I tried that method. Apparently, that wasn't the right way for my candle. I know there is a lot of trial and error, but a smooth top is one of our goals, so I'd love to hear any suggestions. Thanks again.

I'm new to soy candle making and am using C-3. I'm using a 4 oz. glass container, poured at 115 and got a smooth top except for a hairline crack. I used a heat gun over the top, put the candle in the microwave so it would cool slowly, and now I have a cauliflower top. What's the secret to getting a smooth top with a heat gun? Thanks.
