Container Candles Container Introduction Equipment Tips Troubleshooting Tips

Troubleshooting Tip for Container Candles Air bubbles in your poured wax? To minimize the amount of air bubbles slowly stir your wax as it melts and pour it slowly into your mold or container.  Also try and tip your container slightly as you pour.  Don’t forget to tap the sides of your container to encourage air bubbles to escape.

 

 

 

Do you find your candle is pitting?

Small pitting or pock marks in candle making are usually caused by;

(a) you sprayed too much mold release into your mold;

(b) you poured your wax at too high a temperature.

So the solutions are;

(a) before pouring your wax, wipe out your mold leaving only a thin film of product, and;

(b) lower your wax pouring temperature by monitoring your thermometer more closely.

Container Candles are a great first candle for the beginner candle maker and they are the type I always recommend to my new students.
