    I have been making gel candles for years you can use up to 6% fragrance for gel candles and they give a strong hot throw.

    • @alejandrasalazar4187
      @alejandrasalazar4187 Год назад +9

      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.

    • @sherivegasartist
      @sherivegasartist  Год назад +7

      I’m just going off what it says on the manufacturer website with the amount of fragrance. I feel like they probably say less to stay on the safe side.

    @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?

    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 😊

    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.

    • @alejandrasalazar4187
      @alejandrasalazar4187 Год назад +3

      Gel wax shouldn’t get any higher than 230 degrees Fahrenheit

    • @leannedrury2383
      @leannedrury2383 Год назад +2

      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.

  • @leannedrury2383
    @leannedrury2383 Год назад +3

    Be mindful that most insurance companies will not cover the use of gel wax as it's too unreliable and can be highly flammable by adding flowers etc.

  • @lanature7920
    @lanature7920 Год назад +2

    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?

    • @sherivegasartist
      @sherivegasartist  Год назад

      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

  • @itsjass.
    @itsjass. Год назад +6

    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 ?

    • @sherivegasartist
      @sherivegasartist  Год назад +3

      yes both candles can be burn. once the top of the soy wax is poured you can make pour again.

      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.
