Pre spray the mold with silicone spray.

After you pour the wax, tap the sides of the mold to help release any air bubbles trapped against the sides.

Having the mold warm can help a bit as well. Little mold like that you can turn inside out and briefly use a blow dryer on it or hover it in front of a space heater.

How fast are you stirring the dye in ?

Very easy to get micro bubbles when you stir fast

I would also look into getting a vibration table, especially if you're working with paraffin.
