(Note the four votives in the picture. The two on the left have a more "rustic" look to them. I didn't smooth out the sides of the candle (in the mold) with the heat gun. There are places where the overpour doesn't completely cover the chunks. On the two candles on the right, I heated the mold. You can see that the overpour is smooth all the way around.)

Let the candles cool as normal. Unmold them, add a wick...and enjoy!
