I love the forever candles there going to be my next project . I need to find the small glass that goes in the larger one, anyone have suggestions. I am currently working on small fish bowls so i might have to upgrade some .

I brought the flame stoppers from gellumations and i dont know how to put them on the wick do you bend then sideways or what ? thank you
-
thanks everyone i am going to try to make one as soon as my gel gets here i will let you know how it turns out.

I had belonged to yahoo groups for candle making and i never got any answers to my questions. I have found this page to be so much more helpful yet i dont think to many people know about it. Anyway i love this site thanks to everyone .............
-
Heres yet another question, once i laminate the picture do i have to put it in glass or can i just put it in the gel and do a double glass for the candle that will be burning? As a forever candle .
-
its like 2-3.00 a pound but you can find it cheaper if you buy by bulk. With gel i have found they look great no matter what the wheather is unlike soy. I have done some pillars before and i didnt like all the clean up. I am going to make a couple in the next few weeks and will post pics i am waiting on some gel now. i have never messed with tea lights . I have found how to make gel candles on the internet with no problem really.

Thank you very much i want safe candle and you are always very helpful.
-
do you use glass beads i am having a hard time finding them.
-
I want to make a candle with gravel at the bottom and i am going to use a metal dragon. Do i need to put a stopper on the wick because of the gravel? Or it that just for sand? I have been doing alot of research and found that i can use glass and metal as embeds. What do you think????
-
what do you laminate the picture with ? Do you use a regular pic or a photo copy like from a printer? What do you seal it in ?, i would love to see a pic of the finished candle. Thank you
-
i love the forever candles, i wonder if you can add a picture to the gel and not have to worry about it starting a fire because the candle that will be burning is inside a glass. I was thinking i have seen some pictures on a web site but i forgot where. I think it would be really neat to add pictures to my candles but for me safety comes first.

ok i sat back and waited relit the candle and cut the wick a bit burn pool is all the way across and now seems to be melting down like its suppose to. I have switched wicks three times. I love the way they smell my problem with soy is that ive been testing for over two months and still havent got one great candle , that i get with gel. Im going to keep working on it. thank you everyone....
-
i found that because the gel looked pretty my customers didnt want to burn them so after a while they werent really buying more. Also just the cost of gel is so high i am going to by in bulk and see if i can make a profit now. I have never put a wax embed inside my gel just glass or metal maybe i will give it a try and see what happens.
-
i have the right wick for a 4 oz hexagon glass , i am getting a mushroom and to much of a burning pool. I used the right amount of fo maybe i should just give up on soy, honestly gel was alot easier to deal with.
-
I may start these again the cost of gel had gotton so i high i started working with the soy instead . Anyway here are some i use to make.
-
sorry i meant bowl not bowel, lol
-
im still testing my soy and i have a great cold scent throw and very good hot scent throw. I do see some cold spots on the glass now , i heated my glass so why am i still having this problem? I have found that if i let my soy cool down before i pour i have a better candle. Anyone else do this, someone told me on here to let it get kind of slushy before i pour and i get a better candle. thank you
-
Nice jars great candles, is that soy ?
-
i was wondering when we start selling candles what we need to do to follow laws. I know about the warning labels and i am getting my sales tax number , is there anything else i need to know or follow. I am going to keep testing every product before i sell them. I want the safetest candle i can sell. Thank you!!!!!!!

im going to be wicking a fish bowel well thats what i call it the glass is from dollar three what kind of wick would be best.

I made gel candles for over a year and i quite making them for the price of gel just went to high. I started making soy candles and love the smell hate the frost. So I am going to be making gel again is there anything that can be done about the black sutt that comes from the gel candles while burning. I have brought gel candles and also this was a issue for me.
