bubbles are cool!
you could make a beach candle. put some beach sand at the bottom and add some sea shells and blue candle gel with the bubbles!
Most candle makers want to decrease the volume of bubbles. Bubbles look great in seascapes and champagne candles but too many bubbles are undesirable at times. The nature of gel and gel candles is that they will always have bubbles. There are some things you can do about it but again, it takes practice. First - don't create them unnecessarily. Stir slowly. Pour slowly. Pouring at a lower temperature will produce more bubbles than pouring at higher temperatures. If you see bubbles forming along the surface as it is cooling, a heat gun will help. If a cooled candle has too many bubbles, you may place it in an warm oven for several hours.
Stir slowly with a wooden spoon not a metal one, pour slowly. Pouring at a lower temperature will produce more bubbles than pouring at higher temperatures. If you see bubbles forming along the surface as it is cooling, prick with a fork or a toothpick. If a cooled candle has too many bubbles, you can place it in an warm until all the bubbles have gone. Have fun!
