Air bubbles in candles

[sue40]

Hi everyone, can anyone help me as to why I am getting air bubbles in my candles please.:)

Hi Sue,

This can happen if you pour the wax when it is too cool (it's thicker, so air bubbles don't come out as easily). Also you can tap or tilt the mould to try and clear any bubbles, and make sure you don't cool it too fast :)

Hope that helps!

Philip.

Hi Philip, I am poring the wax at 180 degrees we tilt the mould and pour the wax in slowly and have tapped the sides to try and remove the bubbles but as it cools they start to show up. Is it because we are not adding stearin or vybar in the wax? I am getting so frustrated.
