Candles by Lisa Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Does anyone know what is causing this. I get tiny holes at the top of my candle (would be the bottom in the mould). It happens most with the poly carbonate moulds. I make sure the moulds are clean, I warm them first, I have tried pouring the wax cooler and warmer but I still get these tiny bubbles. They aren't very noticeable at all but because I can see them they bother me.Many thanks.Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katinka Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have found with certain FO's if I stir too much just before pouring I get tiny bubbles like these. Also try tapping your mold a bit after pouring to release trapped air and don't pour too cool - I find the cooler I pour the worse it gets.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candles by Lisa Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks for that. I do tap the mould. Well I actually really bash it with a teaspoon to try and get the airbubbles out but these tiny little pests resist my best attempts.Many thanks.Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
