sdcopeland@mchsi.com Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I use a white block anytime i want to use white:confused: in my gel candles. I was wondering what does everyone else use.Sometimes it clogs the wick but i really would like a stark white. Any suggestions? I read steraic can be used has anyone tried it? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I have never saw a need for a white gel candle so no I have never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've never seen a white gel either. Could you post a picture? I'm having trouble trying to visualize this. Maybe a milk and cookie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie W Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Why would you want a white gel? I'm very curious what your making with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo848 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 you are much better off blending paraffin with the gel to get the white.when i started doing gel candles, i had a great snowman candle container and i used td to get it white. big mistake.so then i went to gel with white gliter and that worked much better.when i do a "milk and cookie" candle, i use the paraffin.cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 For me that top section would have been a mix between gel and regular wax so again no need of a white dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
