Wax pulling away from jar.


Recommended Posts

Sometimes I have one or two jars from a batch that the wax pulls away from the jar in a spot. Is there anything I can do about it after the fact. I have heard the wax cooled too fast. That is why this happens. Do you sell them like this? Thanks for all your help.

These are called wetspots and everyone gets them from time to time...even the big boys...just check out a yank...next time you're around them.

You can reduce this somewhat by making sure your containers are clean and heating them a bit before pouring. You can also cool them slower by either placing the jars back into the shipping box or grouping them together and covering them with a box or styrofoam cooler as they cool. Often they will appear anyway when placed in a colder environment like a shop or cool room.

You can try heatgunning the spots, but they will often re-appear anyway.

Most of us just learn to live with 'em! HTH :D
