help....please

Im trying to make a shotgun shell gel candle and its not working....all i get is bubbles. I have used the gel before to make beer mug candles so the bubbles weren't a problem but now i need them to go away. Ive tried pouring at a higher temp. and placing in a hot oven to re-melt but it still doesn't work. Can any of you crafty ladies help....please!?!?!
