I use the high density gel wax and I use 12%, as long as you test your candles before you sell them? I’ve never had an issue and my customers love not only how beautiful they look but how amazing they smell.
do you actually burn the candle? or is it just for fl decoration to have the wick? also, if you are burning it, what do you do with the wick tab once it’s all gone ?
Hi Sheri, I am very much a beginner, do you have a video on making the imbeds Please. I want to start making Christmas candles for gifts and the fruit ones look awesome, where do you get your moulds please.
This is an EXCELLENT tutorial. Thank you for all the essential details that matter. There are way too many people asking the wrong questions. Do your homework!
You pour @ 140C? That's around 284f. Is that a typo or can you get gel wax that hot without burning it? Also, what's the best way to remove bubbles after adding color? Thanks.
You can try using a heat gun and run the heat over the bubbles. That should get rid of them. To avoid the bubbles in the first place stir colour and fragrance oils in very slowly.
I want to start making gel melts can anyone help me with temperature and when to add colour and fragrance at what temperature should I add them thank you
Did you use normal candle wick or zinc core wick for the strawberry one? cuz there is very little gel wax there so it is okay to use the same wick that we used for soy wax?
Zinc core wicks are very hard to get here in Australia. So if you can’t use them I would recommend sizing up from your normal wick size. I have burnt that candle and it burnt fine as there is only a very small amount of gel
This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for using the layer gel with imbeds and then using soya wax on top. Great tips in this and I really love the first candle exactly what I wanted to know how to do. Thank you for posting this. Have a great day, Cheers!
My gel wax cools off immediately once I take from d heat, and it’s difficult to pour in the mold because it cools off within a second.. why is it happening?!
@Sheri Vegas Hi, recently Sheri I bought some scented candles at a store. Well, I bought them because they caught my attention about how they were made. They are pillar candles with the top half with soy wax and the bottom half with gel wax. The gel wax part has sea shells... The candle has a kind of hard selofan mold and on the bottom of the candle it says: "remove the mold when burning the candle." Well this id my question now: If I take the plastic mold the gel wax start coming apart a little. What should I do?
Im curious how you put the wick through the strawberry embeds after pouring the white wax layer. Do you cut one strawberry then seal it with wick in the center? Or form the strawberry with the wick, then pour the white to meet the strawberries? Oh do tell
I love your videos! I tried doing a under the sea candle but to where the gel wax wouldn’t burn and then fill with wax once it’s set and ready. But some of the gel wax gets on the side of the glass and I try and clean if off it just smears is there a trick to help avoid that?
Hi I have a question I am new here and I just watched your video. It will be my first time to learn to make Jell candles. To boil the jell wax do I have to buy a electric stove top? or can I put it on my kitchen stove? What is the best way. And to decorate the fruit for the candle like the strawberries where do I get the moulds from does Amazon Ebay have it. I will be watching more of your videos too. Thank you it has helped me already and I just watched it this morning and you answered all my questions 😊
Hi... Can we make embeds with paraffin wax or soya wax... Like instead of real shells if we make shells with wax and then use them as embeds and piur gel on top... Is it possible
It looks like you can, because in the last example, the strawberries embed and the candle were made of soy wax. Then she added the gel wax last (as a "syrup"). Hope this helps.
I could have really enjoyed this tutorial but your pronunciation is bad if your going to do tutorials. I can’t concentrate 😬😬 Wiv = with Meford = method Uver = other I’m sorry I may sound like I’m being rude but it’s just so annoying that I had to turn off. I am only pointing this out to you for further videos
