number2of7 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sometimes after my containers cool, I get these white spots along the sides of the jar. It looks like sugar crystals or something. Are these just air bubbles? If so, what causes them and what can I do to prevent them in the future?I use KY Perfect Blend, heat to 190, pour at 150, then place in a warm oven to cool overnight. I don't get them on all of my candles...I am currently using 8oz jelly jars.Thanks for any help you can give.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
