Do a Second Pour

Second Pour

Once the candle has cooled quite a bit, do a second pour to fill in the valley that will be created by the wax cooling and shrinking.

Be careful not to pour the wax any higher than the original outer edge of the candle. You don't want any of the new hot wax going down the sides of the cooled candle, it will ruin the finish.
