I have made a few candles and everytime, when I pour, rings are formed around the glass. I just dont know if it's something I'm doing wrong like temp, pouring or if it's the glasses aren't clean enough. I'm wiping the glasses with a clean tea towel. Can anyone help? I have attached a picture to show what I mean.
Those are wetspots. Fairly typical in container candles. It's an aesthetic problem only, will not affect the way it burns at all. As
@lsg said, you can try preheating your jars, however, once the candle cools, ages, or changes atmospheres, the wetspots will most likely return.
Early on, I used to worry about them, but you will find, that literally the only person that cares or ever really registers that they are there, is the candlemaker. Consumers or people who use the candle, will never think twice about them. Once I realized that it's just a part of candlemaking I stopped worrying about it, and ignore them.
