Debs Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have been making votives using Ecosoya PB, they have been coming out great. However today a did a med blue color, and they have tiny pin holes (air bubbles ?) all the way around, along with tiny lines also. I did some red ones also they have a little just at the bottom. Last night I made honey colored and a very light lavender without this happening. I used the same wax heated to @175-180, poured at @ 135. What cause this, does it have anything to do with the color?Thanks,Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nothing to do with color, but are you using wick pins? Are the molds clean? are you pouring too fast and are they cooling too quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debs Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Not using wick pins, molds were clean. Maybe I will try and make sure I pour slowly. I don't think they are cooling too fast. ThanksDeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglover Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Were your molds cold? I get this when my molds are too cool and I pour at cooler temps. Try pouring at a higher temp or warming the molds a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
