Another secret in the art of candlemaking is the right air temperature in the room, so the product will cool correctly. Cooling to quickly will cause a bubble in the middle. You won't see the hole, but it is there, just beneath the top. When burning, all the wax will drain into the center and drowned out your wick. When making candles, consider the air temperature of the room. If you get a hole in the center of the scentd candles, then drill down in the base and fill the hole with wax and prevent drowning of the wick when burning. This is one problem summer heat cures! The cold weather will make creating pie crust or hand rolled cinnamon rolls a hassel in the winter too. The wax just isn't cooling right without the right air temperature and the product is harder to make perfect.
