“Wet spots” are the patches or air bubbles that are visible through clear container candles, where the candle wax hasn’t adhered to the container. Firstly – please note that this is probably the most common complaint from candle makers and can even be seen in expensive designer candle brands. Whilst we all want our candles to look beautiful and aesthetically pleasing – the good news is that this doesn’t affect the burning or quality of your candle. To prevent this happening here are a few tips: - Pre-heat your glass jars before pouring your candle wax into them – this allows the wax to cool at a slower rate and air bubbles can escape to the surface. If you pour hot candle wax into a cold glass jar it will not only cause air bubbles but also frosting. - Ensure room conditions are not too cold – standard room temperature is fine. - Pour the wax slowly into the container. - After pouring the hot wax, tapping the glassware gently will also release any air bubbles - Allow your candles to cool on a wire rack rather than on a standard table top. Solid surfaces will cause the wax to cool too fast and cause “wet spots”/air bubbles where the wax pulls away from the sides of the container.
