Wax Embeds , getting fed up

[citygrl707]

I brought a embed wax, let my gel cool until i could physically pull in out of the pot and put it in the glass jar. I used a heat gun and this messed up the candle with wax going into the gel. THis is the third try with the first and second time just letting the gel cool and put the embeds in. None of the above has worked. I even put my embeds in the freazer for 5 min. Any suggestions??

Let the gel cool a bit but not solidify.

What is the MP of the embed wax? You want to pour around that temp or a little lower depending on if you used additives to raise the MP of the embed wax.

What are you trying to make?

I did some "fruit salad" candles a couple of years ago, and after a bit of the same type of frustration I bought a little lp gel for it. Since lp is "thinner," I was able to pour at a lower temp and still have the gel sink down through my embeds. I was doing this as a forever candle anyway, so I mainly wanted the gel on the fruit for the look and the scent.

im making a gel candle with skeletons in it. I am using mp gel and embed wax . I let in cool but for some reason the wax still starts to melt into the gel . Not sure what im doing wrong.
