MAKE GEL CANDLES

METHOD
1. If you purchased your candle making material separately instead of a candle making kit, preferred products non-flammable. Please note that you will use the heat in making it, so you have to take precautions. Also, keep a fire extinguisher handy.

2. No replace zinc wicks, cotton wicks, the latter may take the gel. His candle burns not gel well with them. Also, being able to stick to your wick to the container base to make sure that sticks in half. Do not trim the wick, however, leave enough time to let it reach outside of the container.

3. Cut the gel into small strips, this will help in faster gel melting. You can use a double boiler or in a multiple melting pot gel. Temperature Control. Do not leave it too high, or sail can lose its luster.

4. wooden spoons should not be used to remove wax gel candles because they may cause bubbles in the mixture. You do not want bubbles in the candle.

5. Once the gel becomes soft, pour the liquid dye mixture. It is not necessary to take a large amount of liquid colorant; A small drop is all that is needed to get the color of your candle gel. Gel candles pick color more easily than other candle waxes. You can also skip pouring the dye in total, as well as maintain its clear sailing.

6. To create scented gel candles, you can add flavoring or fragrance oils (these must be non-polar and over170 flash point) to the gel mixture. They can come in the low density, medium and high. The higher the density, which can hold more fragrance. This also applies to players. You have to take into account, however, that with a candle high density gel, the gel will also be thicker. Therefore, have more time to melt the gel.

7. Prepare the container that you pour the gel. The containers used are preferably those which are glass, for the design to be displayed, and any decorative integration. .

8. Before pouring the mixture into the pan, heat in microwave for a minute. If you want to be embedded in the bottom of the bowl, put on these players before pouring the mixture into the pan. Embeds are impressive additions to its sails. Players used may include glitter, glass, seashells or marbles.

9. After pouring the candle and the addition of players, cut the wick to the length desired.
