N/A What you do to prevent rough tops? cool slow in a warm room or place box over candles after pouring to slow down the cooling process.Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? Throw all glass containers in the dishwasher or handwash with Dawn. Within 48 hours before pouring, they must be squeaky clean. This will give you virtually no wet spots. Do not pour into cold jars in a cold room. Keep the room as warm as possible and allow your jars to come to the same temp before pouring. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
