Do your candles have sinkholes?
If they do, fear not, it’s completely normal!
As melted candle wax cools after it's been poured, it begins to shrink, pulling away from the sides of the container and the wick. This pulling results in the wax caving in, often near the wick on the top of the candle.
To prevent sinkholes, candles should be poured at the specified temperature for their wax.
Additionally, the container you are using should be room temperature and the candle should not be placed in the fridge or freezer to speed up the cooling process. If your candle does have a sinkhole, just use a heat gun to even out the top layer of wax!
