hawaiiansun Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 When melting gel do you have to melt all the gel that's in the pot or can you use the gel that's melted while some are still hard? I've been scooping what's melted but wondering if that's why the bubbles lol I know weird Question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 That is most likely not helping your bubble problem. You realy do need to have the gel totally melted before you pour it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I read somewhere the other day (can't remember where) that to avoid bubble pour somewhere between 215-220. Don't know if that will help ya and I also don't know if that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Make sure your gel is completely melted. This also helps with the scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I always heat mine to 220. That way all the bubbles are gone and I know everything is melted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiiansun Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 thanks I will do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapymomma Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 because that is the only way you can be sure all the scent is well mixed in. You don't want to end up with pockets of fragrance oil in your gel. Always mix your gel very well before pouring. I sure do agree with the fact that pouring hot will help pervent bubbles. Today I was making some rootbeer float gel candles and kept pouring too hot. I wanted bubbles and only got a few. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
