Instructions and Tips for Using Gel Wax:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure a clean, organized workspace, and gather all necessary materials and tools before starting your project.

2. Melt Carefully: When melting gel wax, use a double boiler or a microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, to avoid overheating. Gel wax has a higher melting point than traditional waxes.

3. Fragrance and Colour: Add fragrance oils and colorants while the gel wax is in its liquid state to infuse your creation with your desired scents and hues.

4. Embedding Items: If embedding objects, gently arrange them in the container before pouring the gel wax. Make sure they are heat-resistant and won't release harmful fumes. Consider making your own candle embeds using soy or paraffin wax.

5. Curing Time: Gel wax candles require longer curing times than traditional candles. Allow them to cool and harden completely before trimming wicks or using them.

6. Safety Precautions: Always exercise caution when working with hot wax. Use appropriate safety gear and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Unleash your artistic side with our Gel Wax, the perfect choice for creating stunning, personalized gel candles and decorative pieces. Let your imagination run wild and watch your crafting projects come to life with the exceptional clarity and versatility of gel wax.

WARNING (PLEASE READ)
Adding decorative objects to gel wax can enhance the visual appeal of your creations, but it's essential to exercise caution to ensure safety and the longevity of your gel candles or decorative items. Here are some precautions and tips when incorporating decorative objects into gel wax:

1. Choose Heat-Resistant Items: Ensure that the decorative objects you plan to embed are heat-resistant and won't melt or release harmful fumes when in contact with hot gel wax. Glass, metals, and heat-safe plastics are often suitable choices.

2. Avoid Flammable Materials: Stay away from flammable materials like paper, wood, or highly flammable plastics. These can pose a fire hazard when exposed to a lit candle.

3. Evenly Distribute Objects: When placing decorative objects in the container, distribute them evenly and avoid over-packing. Objects should be well-separated to prevent heat buildup.

4. Test Objects in Advance: Before adding decorative objects to your gel wax, conduct a small test by placing them in a heat-resistant container and pouring a small amount of melted gel wax over them. Observe their reaction to ensure they are compatible with the wax.

5. Center the Wick: If using a wick, make sure it remains centred and doesn't come into contact with decorative items. A misaligned wick can lead to uneven burning and potential safety issues.

6. Monitor Burning Candles: While burning your gel candles, closely monitor them. If you notice any unusual behaviour or signs of overheating, extinguish the candle immediately.

7. Consider Transparency: The decorative objects may become less visible as the gel wax cools and solidifies. If transparency is important, choose objects that maintain their visual appeal when encased in wax.

8. Ensure Objects Are Non-Toxic: Be certain that any decorative objects you use are non-toxic and safe for use in candle-making. This is especially important if your candles are intended for burning.

By taking these precautions and following best practices, you can create stunning gel wax candles and decorative items that are not only visually appealing but also safe for use. Careful planning and attention to detail will help you achieve the best results with your gel wax projects.
