tx twister Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Since I've moved my candlemaking to another room with window AC, having probs with repours. So, I'm now doing 2 repours to make them smooth. Well last night I didn't do them, so did them this AM. As soon as I repoured the 2nd time, I had tiny bubble looking stuff all over the sides of the candle. I only repoured up to the prev. line. Could this be because I waited too long, wax too cold/hot or what? Also having prob with Vanilla candles after they sit for few wks, looks like "pit" marks on the side. I pour at 165, repour at 170. Too much oil 3/4 oz. IGI 4786 or are they from the sweat spots? Geez!:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 If AC means air conditioning, it's quite likely that your moulds are too cold - bubbles tend to form when you don't tap the mould after you pour or they're too cold or both. Try heating it with a hairdryer or heat gun, or in the oven for a minutes before you pour and see if that helps. I'm not sure what this has to do with repours though!HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
