Cool Candle
Myth #1- Gel candles are more dangerous than wax candles. Fact: According to records of the Consumer Products Safety Commission out of 34 recalls, only 3 were gel candles. Research shows that most of times that recalled were due to large flames and breaking glassware. if the consumer follows the safety instructions included with gel candles, they will be aware of care of gel candles and can avoid any problems.
Myth #2- Gel Candle cost More than wax. Fact: Although gel candles may be higher in price, the final outcome will prove Gel candles are very economical. Gel candles will burn on average of twice as long as wax candles. In addition the unique designs that can be created with gel candles surpasses those of regular wax.
Myth #3- I have seen e-mails that say gel candles explode and contain gases. Fact: Gel candles do not Explode. However, if the customer burns a candle all the way to the bottom of the glassware it can create too much heat and shatter the glassware. this cloud be interpreted as an "explosion". this can happen in any candle. Gel candles do not emit any mysterious gases which cause explosions. Gel candles are 95% common food grade mineral oil and 5% resin. Myth #4-I have heard news reports that say gel candles are using lead wicks. Fact: This is fales.Lead wicks are no longer in use in the United sates. Many gel candle makers use a zinc or tin wick (we use zinc) This is a safe wick and does not contain lead. However, if you purchase candles made in foreign countries (like those in dollar stores) they could contain lead.
Misc Info: Research shows that most candles that are subject to recalls have been manufactured in foreign countries. These companies due a great injustice to local candle makers. We take great measures to make the best and safest candle possible. When burning gel candles, familiarize yourself with the safety warning attached to the bottom of your candle. You will find that most of these warnings are the seam that are use for wax candles. Always make sure to trim your wicks to 1/4" or less. This will prevent large flare ups. And just like wax, always stop burning your candle Approximately 1 inch from the bottom.
