Efco Candle-Gelee transparent – gel wax for candle making

Efco Candle-Gelee transparent – make your own candles and fill them with decorations

Efco's transparent Candle-Gelee is a candle gel for making your own gel candles in containers. You heat it in a bain-marie, colour it as you wish and pour it into the container of your choice. Choose your variant from the options.

Because the gel stays transparent, you can see the decorations inside the finished candle. This makes it a good choice if you want to enclose shells, glass decorations or other fireproof small items so that they remain visible.

Making a gel candle

Melt the gel in a bain-marie and pour it like ordinary candle wax.

• Heat the gel in a bain-marie and colour it as you wish.
• Leave the liquid gel in the bain-marie for approx. 15 minutes so that air bubbles can escape.
• Fill the container with the liquid gel and leave it to cool.
• Use a kebab skewer to make a hole for the wick, then insert the waxed flat wick (3 × 10).

Colouring and decorating

To colour the gel, add wax colour pastilles. Do not overheat the mixture, as the wax and colour pigments will separate. Before filling, you can decorate the container with glass decorations or other fireproof objects. Thanks to the transparency of the gel, they stay clearly visible in the finished candle. Use a heat-resistant container, as the gel is poured in hot, and take care to avoid scalds when working with the hot bain-marie.
