MELTING TEMPERATURE: 155°F - 160°F
This blend of vegetable oils from renewable resources creates unique candles with a crystalline finish. No additives are required (ie. mold release, polybar) and colour and scent may be added in similar quantity as paraffin wax. Cooling time will affect the crystallization of the finished surface (slow cooling will increase crystallization). Not to be used in acrylic molds (tends to stick to walls of mold making removal difficult). Most metal molds require a warming of the mold to remove the candle. Best results in silicone (rubber) molds, plastic molds, or tin molds. Larger non-metallic wicks are recommended (HTP, or RRD). Latex molds may degrade faster than normal. This product will turn a pinkish colour if heated above 190°F no matter what colour it has been dyed.

Gel Wax is made from a specially selected and processed mineral oil and a gelling agent, giving it a clear, rubbery texture. Gel Wax should be melted slowly in a pot on a low heat. For less bubbles heat to 90° - 98°C (200° - 210°F). Heat to 76°-88°C (170°-190°F) for more bubbles. THIS MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES! Always use a thermometer to ensure safety and a good end product, and do not use wooden untensils to stir with (metal is recommended). Use oil based scents only, not alcohol based. Use a zinc core or predipped Wick & Tab wick - do not use cotton wick. Use approximately one size larger wick than you would in paraffin wax. Microwaving is not recommended for this product.
