Topic Subject : Question re: pink house

Folks, I'm very new to this and have a question I hope isn't too basic. I'm using Pink House slow-set for hand molds. Into the mold I'll pour freeman flakes pink injection wax.

6 times out of 10, the wax positive will come out with a "water bubble" defect. Typically this is on the pads at the finger tips and it clearly is a "water bubble" between the alginate and wax, not air.

I'm mixing the alginate on the thick side and according to Pink House recommendations. I am also being careful to keep the wax not too hot, not too cold. By too hot I mean "bubbling" and by too cold I mean "flow lines in the model".

Have any of you encountered and solved this issue?
