With a hairdryer; heat the wax paper to the image by moving the hairdryer around the tissue paper transfer until the entire wax paper image turns bright and clear.

Remove the Wax Paper

Before carefully peeling the wax paper from the tissue image, the candle should appear bright and shiny like in this photo.
