Hello, thanks for the great video.
I spread the chocolate and then I vibrate the mold. Yet after I scrape empty spots (holes, bubbles) arises in the bonbons' lids. Happens when using a tempering machine too. Any ideas on what I can change?

Hi, Peter. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. My thought is that the bottom layer of your shells is too thick and/or that there is something about the way you've filled the shells or the type of filling you use that is trapping a bit of air.
This video about closing the molds is actually part of a series of videos about molded bonbons. There is one about filling the molds that you may find valuable: https://www.chocolate-academy.com/en/learning/free-tutorials/molded-bon…
The other possibility is that you are using a couverture that is a little too thick for your project and you need to choose one with a higher fluidity, or your couverture is over-crystallized. You may want to take a look at these videos as well:
