craftsbychris Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Not sure why. But you can melt the top with a heat gun. See if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It just means that when your wax cooled it pulled away from the wick. Could have also been a small air pocket. To check for an air pocket poke the wax around the wick using a bamboo skewer or chop stick. If you do find a pocket the stick will penetrate fairly easy into the wax revealing a hole. In any event, you can fill in the pocket by using a heat gun as Chris suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
