Default White bubbles

Ok so sometimes when I'm making dots with white it turns kind of foamy/bubbly is it because I'm getting it to hot or close to the flame or am working it for too long?

Most of my whites like it cool so maybe it is getting too hot and boiling. I hate that 'cause I like to work hot and fast.

Good luck,
Alison

Most likely, it's because you're working it too close to the head of the torch... try moving farther out in the flame. White does tend to boil very easily!
