Summary: This book is DANGEROUS!
Comment: As an experienced gel candlemaker I'm appalled at the dangerous projects this book showcases! Never, I repeat NEVER seat an untabbed wick in gel. HELLO - it's a fire hazard! Speaking of fire hazards, please don't embed many of the items recommended - just because it's "not near" the wick doesn't mean it can't catch fire.
The book also gives instructions on cooking your own gel with mineral oil and resin which is a direction violation of Federal Trademark law.
This book is a disgrace to candlemaking. I'm embarrassed. This inexperienced candlemaker/author did NO significant research before publishing this rubbish. Inexperienced gellers are being ripped off simply trying to learn gelling. Don't waste your hard earned cash here.

Summary: Some tips are great, others did not work
Comment: I loved this book since I saw it with those wonderful pictures and detailed instructions. I particularly liked the floating candle project and since I make my own gel, I made the 9% self standing gel candle according to instructions. The gel worked great, floated well but the candle did not light at all!!!!! I was making these candles for a wedding party and there was no way to light those candles. I changed the wick for a different thickness and nothing worked until I tried again the 5% gel. It burned OK! The candles float well only they are not as stiff as with the other gel.

Summary: Best Gel Candle book I have
Comment: This is my favorite gel candle book. The design and layout of the book are beautiful and easy to read. The photos are very inspiring and beautifully photographed. There is a lot of good info and guidelines, too.
