Gel wax for candles β transparent, high-quality
Product description
Gel wax is a crystal-clear, elastic wax with a jelly-like structure, made from mineral oil and polymer resin. Thanks to its absolute transparency, it allows the creation of high-impact decorative candles with marine elements, shells, sand, dried flowers, figurines, and other decorative accents.
This gel wax is harder and suitable for making freestanding decorative candles, as well as for more stable shapes and effects. Due to its denser structure, it retains its shape better after solidifying.
The wax melts at approximately 125Β°C. It is not suitable for melting in a water bath, as the required temperature is higher and the water bath cannot provide sufficiently effective and even melting.
Melting is recommended in a suitable container with temperature control and working carefully, without overheating the material.
When colored with suitable liquid dyes, it retains much of its transparency. Slight cloudiness is possible, depending on the type and amount of pigment added β a normal property of the material.
