  1. If your project consists of only soy or paraffin, then the only reason to use gel is when you want to add a glazed appearance.

    For Strawberry Shortcake, use a heat gun to lightly soften the cake/icing one small area at a time, and embed your strawberries in each area until you've achieved your desired effect. Once the wax cools, the strawberries will stay in place.

  2. Some candlemakers in China reportedly do use lead wicking. When you hear so often that many of those imported to the U.S. have been recalled, you have reason not to trust them.

    Your saying, "we live with a couple of parrots", rather than that they live with you, shows your love and concern, and I applaud your wanting to take all precautions.

  3. It might be helpful to store the embeds in your freezer before using them, and/or try pouring the gel a bit cooler. Another idea is to coat each individual embed with gel, set them aside until cool, and then add them when pouring your hot gel.
