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.

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.

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.

It's beautiful and looks very refined.

I really enjoy your videos. I’m at the beginning of making candles

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.

Thank you for the amazing tutorial. Where is the like button? I tried to like the video but its not there. Anyhoo....love, love, love the video.

Can I add scents with a low flash point to the paraffin embeds or must those scents also have a higher flash point?

what size of the wick did you use on the one with the strawberry? does it not affect the gel you pour on the top of the strawberries?

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?

How in the heck can gel candles not be cool? I especially love the floating flower candles, too

Hi just want to know, as I tried on the flowers, there were so many bubbles. So how do you manage it?

Beautiful candles, congratulations. My gel wax colored red, bleeds in the whipped wax. How to avoid? Thank you.

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 😊

Hola, a los cuantos grados centígrados hago el vaciado con la cera de gel? Gracias

@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?

How do you keep the red from bleeding?

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

привет из Москвы :)

It would have looked amazing if you put the start of the wick inside the shell..

How did you got embeds?

I use dye chips all the time and they work perfectly. Don't need liquid dye.

How do you know the flashpoint

Is those really strawberrya how did u make it where they stay fresh

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

During shipping, will gel wax melt without the lid?

Does it burn all the way down to the sand?

At what temperature can I add fragrance oil to gel wax? Please

What kind of gel wax do you use

do you add some fragrance on your gel wax?

You cant use colored sand?

How to make the strawberry?

At what temperature to pour gel wax

Whats the best candle website?

So its not regular gel?

What need materials for candles .

gel AND wax? Do you make videos for just gel candles, too?

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.

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.

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

@leannedrury2383

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.

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

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

What wax you use for the embeds? The strawberry?

@sarahkris7011

11 ай бұрын

I believe she says that she used soy wax for the embeds.

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

Жыл бұрын

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

Cheers. They are not real. They are soy wax embellishments.

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?!

Hey Quick question! So you CAN mix soy wax with gel wax?

@sarahkris7011

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.

Can you tell me what to do if my gel wax is not melting even after half an hour ?

What size wick are you using??? If you are teaching how to do it why don’t you say wick size?

Gel wax mixed up with soy wax after a month? How to prevent this? Any tips

Does she ever answer the questions

I just call Candle gel, I don’t like calling things something that they aren’t’ because it’s definitely not wax

I am sorry, are you saying 60 degrees or 160 degrees? No way you let the wax sit at 60 degrees that’s go cold

Uhm what happened to the 1st candle.. it went from sea shells to a dessert

Flowers are a fire hazard. Wish more people knew this…. Nearly burned my house down
