All you need to do to work with this medium is melt and pour. The excitement is in the embellishing: tint, scent, or imbed something surprising in the gel. Make a Christmas snow globe, wedding and birthday gifts, even glow-in-the-dark candles. Inspiring projects range from fun to funky-like a candle in a martini glass garnished with an olive-to simply beautiful (with gold angels inside).
This book is fantastic, I really love all the information. Excellent!
Creative and helpful

I don't know what either the Michigander or the Nashbabe are talking about. Rankin goes into depth about flash point and the importance of a clip-on thermometer and the dangers of gel. The ideas in here are solid, inspirational and very creative. I was quite impressed with all the various candles that Rankin mentioned but I must admit she sorta hints that GELS cannot be taken out of their mold (she only talks in terms of this as a plus factor that you show off the mold). Don't know why Cusick is here; not on my copy of the book. It's Rankin only.
This book is AWESOME!

This was my second gel candle book purchase, and let me say that this book contains so much more helpful information, that I am returning the first book that I bought. This one blows the other right out of the water!! It offers step by step colored photos for those just beginning to work with gel candles, to photos of the finished projects for the more experienced that want fresh new ideas. I highly recommend this book and believe that is the only one you will need!
