@Tricia Schoonard: Thanks for writing. Penreco holds the patent on the gel and manufacturers the gel.
Two months ago I stumbled upon a gel candle website and immediately became fascinated with them. Before I knew it I found out I could make them myself. Two weeks later I was ordering “How to make gel candles that sell like wildfire” before doing anything else. Armed with safety and creation knowledge My creations are coming together!Now I have two rooms dedicated to an office and a work area. I think I’ve invested about $2000 in gel candle supplies. I’m experimenting, testing and creating gel candles now! I just can’t wait for the opportunity to sell them! Thanks for all the advice!
Thank you for your email, Cathy. Glad that the book was helpful to you. Wishing you much success. Happy Candling!
