Why this happens
A more pronounced version of wet spots. The wax pulled cleanly off the wall during cure. Almost always a vessel prep problem: cold glass or invisible residue from the vessel factory.
Likely causes
- Vessel cold at pour.
- Residue or dust inside vessel.
- Pour temperature mismatched to wax.
How to diagnose
- Inspect vessel before pouring.
- Confirm vessel was warmed and clean.
