I am pouring paraffin and Vybar mix into 6,5 cm cylinder glass mould. As you can see from the picture below, a very deep shrinkage well does form (whole chilli fits inside). What are the techniques (like mould pre-heat, pre-cool, pour temperature and etc) or additives do reduce this shrinkage without making wax blend not suitable for moulded candles?
