Scented Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 A couple of things come to mind and a search will bring all the possibilities up, but 1) could be you are pouring your wax too hot or too cool; 2) pouring too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlewax Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 it took me ages to get the pouring bit right, met and my friends either spilled it or we poured it too fast. We did laugh when we realised you were ment to pour it slow. We were just pouring it straight in, it was well funny. But yeah slow and steady is the key. We didnt have bubbled we had holes !
