What change is pouring hot wax into cold wax?

Pouring hot wax into cold wax typically results in the hot wax cooling rapidly and solidifying upon contact with the cold wax. This can create a layered effect or cause the hot wax to partially sink into the cold wax, depending on the temperature difference and the types of wax used. The interaction can also lead to textural variations and unique visual effects in the final product. Overall, this process is often used in candle making and artistic applications to achieve specific designs.
