Beginners Guide To Gel Wax Candles

[@emiliekitchen5153]

I have been making gel candles for years you can use up to 6% fragrance for gel candles and they give a strong hot throw.

[@alejandrasalazar4187]

I use the high density gel wax and I use 12%, as long as you test your candles before you sell them? I’ve never had an issue and my customers love not only how beautiful they look but how amazing they smell.

[@sherivegasartist]

I’m just going off what it says on the manufacturer website with the amount of fragrance. I feel like they probably say less to stay on the safe side.

I didnt get wht u say... Can u explain it again ​@@sherivegasartist

[@lyndahollins2881]

Hi Sheri, I am very much a beginner, do you have a video on making the imbeds Please. I want to start making Christmas candles for gifts and the fruit ones look awesome, where do you get your moulds please.

[@jenmb2679]

How in the heck can gel candles not be cool? I especially love the floating flower candles, too

[@winekewinawati4215]

Hi just want to know, as I tried on the flowers, there were so many bubbles. So how do you manage it?

[@julieannetapas1754]

what size of the wick did you use on the one with the strawberry? does it not affect the gel you pour on the top of the strawberries?

[@leannedrury2383]

Be mindful that most insurance companies will not cover the use of gel wax as it's too unreliable and can be highly flammable by adding flowers etc.

[@sarahkris7011]

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial. Thank you for all the essential details that matter. There are way too many people asking the wrong questions. Do your homework!

[@javoncrockett1913]

I really enjoy your videos. I’m at the beginning of making candles

[@LordDouglas83]

You pour @ 140C? That's around 284f. Is that a typo or can you get gel wax that hot without burning it? Also, what's the best way to remove bubbles after adding color? Thanks.

[@alejandrasalazar4187]

Gel wax shouldn’t get any higher than 230 degrees Fahrenheit

[@leannedrury2383]

You can try using a heat gun and run the heat over the bubbles. That should get rid of them. To avoid the bubbles in the first place stir colour and fragrance oils in very slowly.

[@itsjass.]

do you actually burn the candle? or is it just for fl decoration to have the wick? also, if you are burning it, what do you do with the wick tab once it’s all gone ?

[@sherivegasartist]

yes both candles can be burn. once the top of the soy wax is poured you can make pour again.

[@MrsKateT]

They both look amazing Sheri! Love the strawberry one especially 🍓 X

[@sherivegasartist]

It’s super cute 🥰

[@gayatri263]

​@@sherivegasartistmy manufacturer says 2 ml for 250g should I trust them ? And even 6% is less or more ? Please do tell

[@007eyenapapithomdumrongsak6]

It's beautiful and looks very refined.

[@marionflynn7595]

I want to start making gel melts can anyone help me with temperature and when to add colour and fragrance at what temperature should I add them thank you

[@tuya_arauz]

Hi! All these melting and pouring temperatures are in C or F in the video?

[@jenmb2679]

Dang, maing candles is expensive🥺so many options.

[@lanature7920]

Did you use normal candle wick or zinc core wick for the strawberry one? cuz there is very little gel wax there so it is okay to use the same wick that we used for soy wax?

[@sherivegasartist]

Zinc core wicks are very hard to get here in Australia. So if you can’t use them I would recommend sizing up from your normal wick size. I have burnt that candle and it burnt fine as there is only a very small amount of gel

[@my_youtubechannelxx]

Mine keeps having air bubbles how do I stop this from happening

[@mightycatcreations1968]

This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for using the layer gel with imbeds and then using soya wax on top. Great tips in this and I really love the first candle exactly what I wanted to know how to do. Thank you for posting this. Have a great day, Cheers!

[@the1theresa]

Thank you!! Been wanting to try the combo - your great, and thank you for all you share!

[@mariannemcilrath3767]

Looking forward to make this tutorial. It is very helpful and interesting

[@gettingbetter2023]

What wax you use for the embeds? The strawberry?

[@sarahkris7011]

I believe she says that she used soy wax for the embeds.

[@leviniadarnelnaidoo7544]

Very informative I am starting a candle business

[@gayathreesenthil1346]

My gel wax cools off immediately once I take from d heat, and it’s difficult to pour in the mold because it cools off within a second.. why is it happening?!

[@joselovelife8636]

always so in depth, love the content

[@sherivegasartist]

I try to make sure I cover all the important information for someone to get started

[@LaurenJamieson-x8f]

Im curious how you put the wick through the strawberry embeds after pouring the white wax layer. Do you cut one strawberry then seal it with wick in the center? Or form the strawberry with the wick, then pour the white to meet the strawberries? Oh do tell

[@mariebk1]

@Sheri Vegas Hi, recently Sheri I bought some scented candles at a store. Well, I bought them because they caught my attention about how they were made. They are pillar candles with the top half with soy wax and the bottom half with gel wax. The gel wax part has sea shells... The candle has a kind of hard selofan mold and on the bottom of the candle it says: "remove the mold when burning the candle." Well this id my question now: If I take the plastic mold the gel wax start coming apart a little. What should I do?

[@Sook995]

I just call Candle gel, I don’t like calling things something that they aren’t’ because it’s definitely not wax

[@erinhennessy2164]

I want to make a gel candle with dry flowers but how do I get them to not float? Is there a certain temp I have to wait for the wax to cool?

[@tiffhicks3843]

Exactly why I came to the comments

[@renatabegni1799]

Beautiful candles, congratulations. My gel wax colored red, bleeds in the whipped wax. How to avoid? Thank you.

[@LitCandle003]

I am sorry, are you saying 60 degrees or 160 degrees? No way you let the wax sit at 60 degrees that’s go cold

[@amanda53838]

I love your videos! I tried doing a under the sea candle but to where the gel wax wouldn’t burn and then fill with wax once it’s set and ready. But some of the gel wax gets on the side of the glass and I try and clean if off it just smears is there a trick to help avoid that?

[@agata_katherina]

Yes, follow instructions on the video...

[@raqueldi3028]

What size wick are you using??? If you are teaching how to do it why don’t you say wick size?

[@dchocolate44]

Is the red gel wax you're pouring the same wax that's at the bottom?

[@widhihastuti2813]

Hallo, can anyone give me information, is it save to microwave clear candle?

[@nownzengifts3802]

Can I add polymer clay sprinkles into my candle?

[@victoriavasili8868]

Hi I have a question I am new here and I just watched your video. It will be my first time to learn to make Jell candles. To boil the jell wax do I have to buy a electric stove top? or can I put it on my kitchen stove? What is the best way. And to decorate the fruit for the candle like the strawberries where do I get the moulds from does Amazon Ebay have it. I will be watching more of your videos too. Thank you it has helped me already and I just watched it this morning and you answered all my questions 😊

[@rorosam7840]

At what temperature can I add fragrance oil to gel wax? Please

[@makeupweapons2340]

[@fondantfunhouse]

Can You use a vacuum chamber for the Air bubbles?

[@RKassar]

It would have looked amazing if you put the start of the wick inside the shell..

[@sunflower260285]

Is that real sand ?

[@mariaburns7118]

[@leannedrury2383]

I use dye chips all the time and they work perfectly. Don't need liquid dye.

[@oshunwaters]

How do you melt them Into the gel?

[@jenmb2679]

gel AND wax? Do you make videos for just gel candles, too?

[@Petal8888]

Does it burn all the way down to the sand?

[@BrendaDavis-1963]

Beautiful I haven’t made a gel candles in a long time, so I’m gonna attempt to do it again and might try your you’re a recipe beautiful candle

[@memeginwala6870]

U have explained very well thank u

[@mitaliattick8436]

Hi... Can we make embeds with paraffin wax or soya wax... Like instead of real shells if we make shells with wax and then use them as embeds and piur gel on top... Is it possible

[@sherivegasartist]

Yes you can definitely do that

[@Blehhehe]

During shipping, will gel wax melt without the lid?

[@Nuggetgirl]

Flowers are a fire hazard. Wish more people knew this…. Nearly burned my house down

[@sherivegasartist]

That is why they are not in the candle part. The wick does not go down into the flowers

[@kathykat7592]

[@maarriiaalu5]

Hey Quick question! So you CAN mix soy wax with gel wax?

[@sarahkris7011]

It looks like you can, because in the last example, the strawberries embed and the candle were made of soy wax. Then she added the gel wax last (as a "syrup"). Hope this helps.

[@jenmb2679]

You said not to add fragrance

[@mariamendoza4821]

How did your strawberries look so bright red ? Is that soy wax strawberries? Or Gel wax strawberries??

[@sarahkris7011]

I believe she says they are soy wax embellishments (the strawberries).

Are those real cherries? Do i need special candle dye or regular food coloring?

[@sarahkris7011]

Cheers. They are not real. They are soy wax embellishments.

[@zuleykap5855]

Hey, where can I Find that wax and the liquid color? Thanks

[@veralvarez1189]

[@Dampler]

Is that last candle not a fire hazard? Or at the very least going to make a strange smell?

[@sherivegasartist]

The strawberry 🍓 candle?

[@sarahkris7011]

They are not real strawberries. It's a wax embellishment, so not a fire hazard.

[@7stones69]

Thanks Sheri for information
