Make Sand Candles

After a second (or third or fourth) pour, you're ready for your final pour. The wax will have shrunk like any votive or pillar candle does. Note:In each pour after the first very hot one, even on the second pour, you can add fragrance or color if desired.

You can also fix minor dips from shrinkage by Topping Off with a Heat Gun

Variation: I love using sand candles to make Outdoor Citronella Candles. You don't have to worry about the sand flecking off like you do inside the house...and they're great for a beach/summer/tiki theme backyard!
