Safety first !

Before we begin to make candle gel we should know the basic rules of safety.

1.Before creating candles take care of your place of work:

- use  old newspapers to cover the table where we make candles

- melting  gel  wax in a special pot - only to candle making

- it is important to have a thermometer with a scale up to 110 degrees C - gel wax at a temperature above 107 degrees C starts to burn

- materials used to gel wax should be  from metal, wood or plastic otherwise, at high temperatures these materials can react with the gel, which becomes cloudy

- Ensure that the room in which we melt the gel is well ventilated
 
2. Warm gel:
- Never leave the gel on the fire or hot plate alone!!
- If the temperature of the gel exceeds 107 degrees C -  watch it - if it starts to smoke - put away from the heat source-  not allow the temp
- Don't leave  nearby children or animals
- never extinguish gel wax with water !! Use the fire extinguisher or pot cover
- In case of skin contact with the hot gel use the cold water

3. Using ready-made candles:
- Candle set in a location with a flat surface away from flammable objects - paper, curtains, etc.
- Keep away from children and pets
