Fill your chosen vessel with candle sand. For best results, use a container at least 9 cm wide—this helps prevent the melt pool from reaching the edges, reducing heat buildup. Using smaller diameter and depth vessels such as a tea light may cause the wax pool to touch the edge of the vessel. A fireproof vessel is recommended, but any heat-safe container will work.

Spray the fragrance oil 2-3 times over the surface of the Candle Sand from a 10cm distance to give off a subtle scent as the candle burns. NEVER spray a lit candle. You can skip this step if you prefer to be fragrance free or you can use your favourite essential oils by adding a few drops around the wick before lighting.

To relight, gently remove the solidified wax from the sand to check the wick. If no wick remains, discard the wax and insert a new wick. If some wick is left, either place the wax back as is or break off the edges for a cleaner look. For a neater appearance, insert the wick upside down.
