lookinforhelp Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi! Just figured out how to get rid of my bubbles, and now I have white stuff in my candles, almost like wax that didn't melt. I am using parafin wax and am pouring at 200. Also, anyone know how to make the wax adhere better to glass for container candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You are pouring hot try lowering your pour temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well I would need to know what wax you are using the only waxes I would pour that hot would be Palm or gel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Now the question would be is this a container wax or a straight paraffin. If it a straight paraffin it is not meant for containers at all and you are still pouring to hot I would start pouring about 175 to 185 and adjust as needed.If this is a container blend wax I would start off try to pour about 160 to 180 depending on the wax.There are waxes out there that are poured hotter but most don't need to be poured at 200. 200 would be the high end for them not the starting point.
