Gel Wax, Gel Wax, Transparent Wax 1 Kilogram
- Gel wax is a solid, transparent, and soft product.
- It has a lifespan that is 4 times longer than regular candles.
- When making gel wax candles with the transparency feature, you can create decorative candles as the objects placed inside the container will be visible.
How to Make Gel Wax?
- Fill a container with water and heat it on the stove to melt the solid gel wax using a double boiler method.
- Regularly stir the gel wax as it begins to melt using the double boiler method.
- Once the gel is melted, add the wick and wick holder, optional color, and fragrance, and pour it into the chosen container.
- Since gel wax is oil-based, it is recommended not to use water-based paints. Those who want to color it can use a small amount of pigment paint to color the gel.
- Place the wicks in the containers you will use. This ensures that the wicks remain fixed in the center. If they do not have adhesive holders, melt a candle and drip it at the bottom of the container to fix the holder in the center.
- You can pour the melted gel into glass containers while it is still hot and into mica boxes once it has cooled down a bit.
- Pour the melted gel into the container halfway and wait for the gel to solidify for a while. This will happen at 32 degrees Celsius. If you fill it all at once, small reactions may occur with the materials on the floor, causing bubbles to form and making your candle bubbly.
- Wait for about 5-10 minutes for these bubbles to disappear. Then fill the remaining part of the container and let it solidify.
- Things to pay attention to;
- There should never be any water or similar substances in the container you will melt the gel in, as even a drop of water will cloud the entire gel wax.
- Pour the liquid gel wax you have melted from the stove slowly and from a low height, otherwise bubbles will form.
- Do not move the container with the poured gel wax until it is completely solidified.
