How do you get rid of annoying air bubbles in candles?

Question

My candles are where I want them to be except for this big problem with air bubbles being trapped in my candles after they set up and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. If anyone has any suggestions to this problem please let me know! Thanks! :) ~Sarah

Answer 1

Tap the molds a lot after you first fill them to release the bubbles.  You'll see them rise to the top.  Also, when you pour make sure you are pouring with the mold held at an angle, to minimize bubble formation.

Answer 2

The air is getting in when you mix the parafin or beeswax and when you are physically pouring the candles. You can tap the candles to help the bubbles rise. You can also heat the mixture once you've poured the candles (as long as the thing holding the candle is able to be baked) in an oven, that will also make the bubbles come out. Sometimes you can microwave it, but not if the wick is attached to metal or it's not in a microwave safe pot.
