It's a good idea to have a little extra eye, hand, and counter protection when pouring ice candles. There's extra chance for sputters, spills and splashes.Slowly pour the hot wax into the mold, bringing it just over the top of the core candle. (Or, in the case of the taper that I didn't trim, to the top of the mold.)

When your wax has reached about 200 degrees, add any color or fragrance you desire (I usually don't add fragrance to ice candles), and get ready to pour.
