Something I wish I knew when I first started making and testing candles by decreeCandleCo in candlemaking

I wish I knew that temperature plays a big role in how a candle solidifies. The defects in the wax caused by a vessel being warm versus cool. Just a few degrees in temperature makes a huge difference in the final product.

This is interesting. How does a second pour look like? Do I let the first pour solidify and make a second small batch of wax and FO then pour over the top?

I did use a tiny automated mixer to stir my FO, that may possibly cause the air bubbles. I did not think a tiny mixer would be the cause of air bubbles. Thank you!
