Boogey2Shoes Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Does anyone know of a gel/candle show in the Midwest? I live in Wisconsin and would like to see other peoples' work and ideas and actually talk to some gel candlemakers? Also, how can I cut down on bubbles on my glass embeds? I tried heating the embed before placing it - too many bubbles around it. Also, the goldfish I used were more yellow than orange - any ideas on a good source for this? thank you B2S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Well I am not in the mid west so can't help you there but can help with the embeds.If you soak your glass embeds in mineral oil first it will help reduce the bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoscentsworth Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 You can also try dipping/coating them in gel first...let it set up around the embed and then insert them in your container. Also, Jazzbo has a good method of pouring the gel in layers. There is a post about this here...try a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
