thanks i will try that also i see some gel candles have a t-lite submerged flush with the surface is this done by pouring the gel to the hight of bottom of t-light then when cooled adding t-lite and topping up?? One last thing some firms only place about on inch of wick in the top of the gel whilst others wick from the bottom of the container is this because they are mainly decrotive and not ment to be burnt or is it because the inserts they use are flamable i.e dried plants

i am thinking of making some gel candles and wondered if i can put wax embeds in the gel or will it have to be glass embeds???

Professional fragrance retention and scent throw
