Our new Illuminary Embeds (I.E.)s
(this effect if very hard to capture completely on film)
however
you can see how the candle appears just like an ordinary,
plain candle during the day.
If kept under light
as
the night starts to near, you can slowly see the image
of the dolphin appear from the phosphorescent pigment
contained in the glass.
We began this gel
candle with a few chunks of Glow Base, dropped in
the bottom around the wick, so that we would have highlighting
in the entire base of the candle.
Next we added more clear
chunks of gel (for depth) and then did our over pour
of clear gel scented with Ocean fragrance.
Then, using our embedding
tool, we positioned the (I.E.) dolphin in the corner
of the candle.
Since the dolphin is
made with clear glass treated with phosphorescent pigment,
he is almost virtually invisible during the day, which
is the look we want.
So that our 'day-time'
candle would not be too boring, we allowed the candle
to set, and then placed a glass palm tree in the top
surface of the candle in the corner. (If you have trouble
getting the tree to adhere, pour a thin layer of molten
gel to hold the tree in place.)
Leave the candle in a
light source during the day and, as nighttime approaches,
the image of the dolphin will magically appear. Customers
LOVE this idea.
Another design is to
embed a regular blue glass Dolphin also....then as night
approaches, you see he has found a magic friend and
playmate.
And the best news is
that when the candle is finished, the customers have
a splendid glow-in-the-dark dolphin as a keepsake.

Burn candle only on a stable, heat-resistant surface
for no more than four hours at a time. If flame gets too large
or exposed wick is greater than 1/4 inch, extinguish flame and
trim wick. Keep away from drafts and flammable material. Do
not allow matches or wick trimmings to fall into melt pool.
Never burn the last half of a candle. Do not move while burning
or if gel is still hot. Keep wick centered and trimmed to 1/4 inch to prevent smoke
and soot buildup. Do not extinquish gel with water -- if possible smother the flame, or use baking soda for small flames, or a fire extrinquisher.
