Why do I get bubles?

[glori3565]

for container candles, I heat my wax to the required temp, but I still get air bubles in my container candles.

It would help to know what kind of wax you're using, what the required temp you're pour at is, etc. Are the bubbles all the way through, outside on the jar, or on top?

Often you can get bubbles from pouring too fast and/or too cool.

Do you heat your jars before you pour? I used to not do this but ever since I started heating them up. I noticed the little bubbles are gone.

your pour temp. is what i would look at.i used to get them till i made sure my pour temp. was right.

Are u tapping your jars after you pour? I always tap mine good to make sure no bubbles, always see some rise up. Also make sure you pour very slow, you will get air bubbles if you pour too fast. Hope this helps:smiley2:

The main reason for the bubbles is pouring too fast. A couple of tricks you might try....I can't make candles without wooden skewers. I use them for everything from wick holders, taking the tips to push down on the wick tab to secure them. In the beginning when I found it hard to pour slowly I learned from a veteran candlemaker to take a wooden skewer place it in the jar at a slight tilt and pour down the skewer. Another trick that might sound strange but it does work is to lightly blow into the jar. I do mean lightly cuz you don't want to end up with wax on the face....don't ask lol.

Also, after stiring thoroughly, leave it sit in your pouring pitcher for a bit before pouring into jars, this helped me. I figured out I was stiring too much and was creating bubbles.
