I tired using a lighter and tried smoothing it out, but once it dries, it has that grainy look again... Could pouring them before letting them cool down to 135 cause that? Anyone else ever have this problem?

Hi, My name is Sonya and I just started trying to make soy candles. I am using Golden Brands 444 soy wax. I am heating my wax to 185, adding my dye chip, my 1 oz fragrance oil, and then pouring into pre-warmed 8 oz mason jars... My problem is that when they dry, it looks very grainy on top. Even when they are a little wet, if you run your finger over it, it feels just as grainy as it looks. Can someone please advise me as to what I am doing wrong? I ordered all my supplies from CandleScience. Thank you in advance for any responses... I look foward to getting to know everyone and hopefully one day can help someone else..
