putter5775 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 used a presto, went really smooth on the build, used it for first time tonite. Got alot of air in my 6006 wax. Guess I have to find some kind od a nipple. How do you get air bubbles out of a pot of wax? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Can you upload a photo for us to see what exactly you are describing? I use Presto's all the time, and your issue seems off; wax doesn't bubble unless you boil it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putter5775 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 already poured the candles, When the wax came out of the presto, I let it hit the side of my pour pot as to not let it splash. I built the Presto pot that you put a ball valve in. If it happens again I will post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think you're supposed to use the spigot to get the wax into a pour pot. I think it comes out of the spigot too fast to pour directly into your containers. I am just taking a wild guess here though, I really don't know.

Tinas Candles Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am using 415 wax but I dont know if it realy makes a difference or not on the wax type. I had the same problems also. Keep the pouring pot as close to the spigot as possible and start on an angle like pouring a beer until you get a good amount in the pot. The bubbles are cause by the splashing off of the bottom of your pouring pot. I have found that if I stir the wax after I finish pouring, the bubbles will go away. On a different note I had a spigot in another pot that no matter what I did i got tons of bubbles so my hubby changed it out to another spigot and its been nice and smooth since. Hope this helps you.Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putter5775 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 first, I did pour the wax into a pour pot, I did pour ir like a beer also, I think I will seeif there is a nipple that will give me more of a stream instead of a splash, tks for the advice from everyone........thats why they call it testing I guess......
