Problem
Why do bubbles form in a candle?
A bubble is an air hole in the wax. A wet spot is a glossy island on the glass; do not confuse them. Pour slowly, tap lightly. Soya Wax 50 ~51–55°C. A sink hole is a second pour.

Pour slowly
A thin stream from the edge. A spurting pour traps air. Soya Wax 50 ~51–55°C.
-
Tap lightly
A short tap on the bottom of the container. Violent shaking cracks it. A wet spot is the wax pulling away from the glass, not a hole.
-
Surface holes
A cavity left open after cooling calls for a second pour. Frosting is a matte crystal, not a bubble.
Wet spots
A glossy glass island is not a leak. A separate guide.
Paraffin mold
Pour slowly in a mold as well. Silicone demolding is separate.
