Dear Sabrina, your candle looks fine. If you want to get rid of some of the outer layer of wax, you can always dip the candle in hot water - that's what I sometimes do to make my chunks stand out a bit and it can also get rid of any imperfections. I love the hearts. Sabrina is good, Sabrina is clever, Her candles are great, And to look, we all wait! So keep chandling on, Without any tears, So we can all look And give you three cheers!
