Jar Gel Candles/Decorative Gel Wax Candles (ग्लास जेल मोमबत्तियाँ): Gel wax is a clear, dimensionally stable, jelly-like material. Its melting point is between 75°C and 85°C. Jelly wax can be used to create a variety of special effects and is also suitable for making decorative container candles. For a scent to be gel wax compatible, the flashpoint of the fragrance must be 170 degrees or higher. This degree of flashpoint is important because gel wax burns at a higher temperature. Gel is essentially a combination of polymer resin and mineral oil that is cut with exceptional safety in respect of the flash point.
When combined in a container with a wick it can produce exquisite transparent candles. Because of the clarity of gel, it gives off about 40% more luminescence than regular paraffin wax. Patience is in need in making these types of candles because the gel tends to take longer to melt and is harder to pour than paraffin wax, the main ingredient used in wax candles. They can be fun to make, however, and tend to burn longer than regular wax candles. Glass marbles also one can use in Decorative Gel Wax Candles. The melting point of a gel candle is about 275 F and the flash point (temperature at which it will catch fire) is close to 440 Deg F.
Fill a medium sauce pan with gel wax and melt over medium heat. Using a thermometer to monitor the temperature, heat until gel reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, but no hotter. If it exceeds this temperature, the gel will lose clarity and turn yellow. Maintain this temperature until gel is completely smooth and melted.
