Scent Cellar Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Sometimes I get a small dip but I just use the heat gun to even the top off so I don't do a repour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizF Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Never had to do a second pour with this wax before, then it happened. I had poured several candles on a Saturday only to find the next day that every last one of them had a sink hole around the wick! Much more than a heat gun could fix. I still don't know how that happened -- I didn't do anything differently when pouring them, it wasn't a new batch of wax --- it's a mystery. All I know is that it hasn't happened since then (knock on wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
