Wayne,

    Thanks. I hadn't thought about bubbles coming for recycled wax. Dang.
    I have done some heavy pieces where bubbles have been a problem. Time
    to change a habit of being miserly about some materials. Wax is
    certainly cheap enough compared to time spent filling holes or
    recasting. I had always blamed the bubbles on not getting the vents
    right in my molds. I had not thought about the wax possibly
    contributing to the problem.
