Awesome candles! I do a lot of gel candles, but I found that shipping them between April - September to not work so well because if they are left on their sides in transit for too long, they can melt and become "deformed". I actually discovered this when I accidentally had one knocked off my shelf (lid was not on it) onto the carpet and it oozed out onto the carpet after just one day. Yes, it is scented in a gel safe FO, but the FO actually does change the consistency and the melt point. The other thing I do is mark them with a warning label that reads "For novelty use only. Not intended to be burned" especially if they have possibly flammable embeds or they are in the Coca-Cola glasses, which are fairly thin.

@bettyjane3321 2 жыл бұрын

im new to candle making and im trying to find my niche for what kind of candles i want to sell on my online store. I just started experimenting with soy candles. What would you recommend for shipping in that time frame to prevent it melting or is it better to offer them as a seasonal product? also do you add wicks and scent still or no since its just made for novelty use?

@Meredith471 2 жыл бұрын

@@bettyjane3321 I typically only offer them from October to April in limited scents. I only do 2 types, with one being the Cola one. I do wick the Cola candle to make it look like a straw, but the other one is not wicked and only scented. I shipped one of my non-wicked ones over the summer with a disposable ice pack wrapped around it along with 4 layers of bubble wrap, then packing peanuts. This was a 50th birthday gift for a friend, which is the only reason I my rule of not shipping in the summer months and sent it to her. Unless you have good candle insurance, I don't recommend doing gel candles. I am seriously considering getting out of the candles all together.

Tim, could check on this: I saw on KZfaq that someone put their embeds in the jar and then cut up the gel wax into pieces. Put the pieces (not melted) into container with embeds. They put the jar with the unmelted gel on a towel that lined a baking dish with water added to baking dish. They then said to put this in the oven. I didn't hear what temp but until wax melted. This process = no bubbles.

It's truly amazing that in the art world with something like this and honestly I can't find too many other things that share the same traits in the DIY videos but for some reason with the gel wax no one actually sits down and talks about what gel wax is specifically or how to make it and I don't think there's anyone out here actually making it which sounds to me like it's only two ingredients literally just polymer resin which I'm not a resin guy so I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the difference between polymer resin and epoxy resin is if any but this stuff is literally 95% mineral oil and 5% so that tells me if you want something super-dense maybe go for a 10% resin but where is that resin who sells that resin how much is that resin and is there a substitute for the mineral oil quite frankly I don't care minerals cheap but that brings me to my final rant and the entire point of this is why are we spending so much on already made gel wax when we should be able to make it for a quarter of the price

@ryanwyrick6947 Жыл бұрын

@Anna They arent secrets actually and I have done enough looking around to find out that it boils down to getting your hands on the right plastic beads. You can make it with mineral oil but its waayyyy different from product to product and it has to one specific polymer.. Turns out I could only find large bags of it from China and only one out of 8 responded to me and that one took a month just to respond. I forget almost everything and might be able to track down some history in my email but Its super protected thats for sure basically saying what you said in a different way so yeah trade secret is a fair term because no one talks about it but I CLEARLY SEE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR DOZENS OF HOBBIES GETTING RICH OFF A DENSER VERSION. I wanted to make an alternative ballistic gel for target practicing my air rifles but its just not dense enough unless you make a block 2 feet long. There is a red gel product for making molds it5 was soooooo perfect but way too expensive. I'll let you know if I find the recipe and instructions but the link to buy the polymer bead product is void now... dang I wish they were still in business.
