HI there all, I started making gel candles in 2003 and did it for a couple of years, and then due to DV I had to stop. Now I am back in the saddle, and ready to get back at it! I have seen the effects of the economy on the demand for them, and I am hoping that maybe it is on it's way back up. With the time I have been out of it, I feel a little impared knowledge wise. Rich I see that you also have taken the making of these as serious as I did. I have been online for the past month trying to update my brain and the hows' and whys' of creating them, and have found that as you have mentioned so much of the info seems to be miss leading (if my memory serves me right). Any help that you could give me would be GREAT! I have really enjoyed making, what I feel as peices of art, and am excited to get back into it, but not if I can not make them safe. Also finding the gel and some of the other supplies has become very difficult, if by chance you know of some good ones that I can use that would be good also. I know I am asking for alot of info, but I said before I want to creat profesionsl candles. :-)
