Doing a Second Pour

You'll be amazed at just how much wax is soaked up by the sand...especially if you've poured at a high temperature. You'll need to do at least one extra pour to add more wax to the candle. You don't have to get the wax as hot, though. The shell of the candle has already been made in the sand. Similarly, you shouldn't need to use the spoon to disperse the wax.
