Usually when you get dirt in candy, the candy gathers around the dirt and you end up with darker candy spots. If you don't have this, I guess you are lucky.

If you are happy with the way the candy looks, you can just sand the surface, then reclear it, not candy it.

If you add more candy, you may end up with a very dark candy. Since you are using Tangelo as the base under the candy, I don't think you want to go too dark on the candy since Tangelo has 'pearl' in it instead of the usually metallic like the BC colors have.

Good luck to you!
