"It's better to light a candle than to stumble in the dark ..." This is one of the oldest children's songs that you often hear about candles. Candles, what are they for?
The use of candles has changed over time. In some countries, they are a basic tool for worship. They are always found in churches, temples and other places of worship. The cake comes with candles too; this gives them an "symbolic" touch. This makes them as part of ceremonies such as the inauguration, start activities.
Today, candles are part of a growing industry. They are making it particularly large "gel candles" in the market. What makes the gel candles so demand for costumers? Well, because it is made of mineral oil and plastic polymers, it can be long lasting and in fact it is very easy to make. At home, why without these gel candles is a lot of hassle and expense.
Follow the steps below:
1. Find the best container to shape the candle you have in mind. Make sure to use a non flammable container. In case of using glass, make this gel.
2. Plan to have a wick of about 1.5 inches from the sides and tap the hot glue spots on the bottom of the container you used.
3. Put a wink on the hot glue and let it cool for a few minutes. Do not use cotton as a core, zinc is the best choice.
4. For the gel, cut the gel wax into small portions or cubes and place it in a container and heat. Make sure the heat is not too hot or too cold. 200 Fahrenheit can melt it well.
5. Maintain the advised temperature until such time the wax melts in a smooth, a bit thick liquid and turns. To get a more attractive effect, you can use colored materials to make the product have a better effect.
6. Do not use coloring materials that cause the gel to lose transparency. Disregard the use of water-based and paste dyes as a combination. Components that they do not complement each other.
7. Pour the essential oil or gel aroma for more effect making the candle "marketable". Since it is a clear sink, there is an additional Strowax cube, which is a liquid by the "cloudy" effect.
8. You need to use the scent alcohol-free.
9. When pouring the candle liquid into the container, set the level mark and make sure that the liquid does not pass over it.
10. Set the container to the preheat point (150 degrees) This minimizes the presence of foam which may ruin the form of the finished product.
11 Then pull up the wick and make sure it rises to the center of the candle. Chill the candle for 3-4 hours. Trim the wick in about 1⁄2 inch.
These steps are easy to follow. You don't have to let go of your cash each time you need a candle at home. You can pour your own artistry and put a personal touch on the candles you use. This is a very good past time as well as a cost savings method. To this wonderful start my candle.
You may have just a small amount of capital and an entrepreneurial center under your box with your decision to make it bigger.
