THE TROPPO GEL CANDLE WORKROOM

This is how the work room looks after a GEL candle making session. These are new creations that are being made, but a lot of these new candles never make it out of this room. If the candle maker does not like the finished product, she just removes the GEL and starts again. No GEL candle leaves this room if the boss is not happy with it.

NEW GEL CANDLES waiting to be packed

A few of the GEL candles that have been produced . We have had a busy year so far, but the chief candle maker keeps coming up with new creations each day.

WILLY the Whale

This is a great candle. Here we have a 8 sided glass bowl with sand, rocks and shells placed on the bottom. We have then added some small fish and a black whale on a stand. The glass is then filled with GEL to which ocean fragrance has been added. This candle will burn for up to 40 hours.

PUSS in GEL

Here we have a tall wine glass that has a ceramic cat placed inside and then a wick is inserted and then filled with clear GEL. A nice gift for a person that loves cats.

COLD DRINK

New fragrance has been added to our collection. We now have Pepsi Cola fragrance. These GEL CANDLES are made to look like a glass of ice cold Pepsi Cola, right down to the ice in the glass. Almost like the real thing.

SLEEPING BABE

Look at this sweet GEL CANDLE. SHHHH don't wake her.. a sleeping baby on a bed of sand in clear gel with the fragrance of baby powder added. perfect gift for the new mother..

This GEL candle is set in a round glass dish on a bed of white sand. Glass stones and some small animals are scattered over the sand. A glass of small flowers highlight the GEL candle. This candle has 2 wicks so it can be burnt evenly.

OUR FIRST WEDDING GEL CANDLES

We made these GEL CANDLES as decorations for wedding tables. The glass has a bed of green sand and several sea shells were placed on this bed of sand. The GEL is clear and scented coconut. As you will see from the following pics, the finished product was awesome.

The start of the project. Here are the GEL candles ready for the big day.

This is what was created.. Our candle is the inside glass and it was placed inside another vase. They were both placed onto a large sea grass coaster and had rocks and shells placed around them. The arrangment was placed in the centre of the tables.

These candles were used on the gift table.

Here it is. The finished product, on the table and alight for the wedding feast. Looked great.

THANK YOU TO KEITH and FIONA. We hope you have a great future together.

GEL CANDLE MAKING.. the factory at work

Place required amounts of GEL into clean saucepan. As GEL melts . stir in required colour and scent.

The GEL is heated/MELTED in a pot on a hotplate. It is best to heat/melt the GEL slowly. WARNING... GEL IS VERY HOT...

GEL candlemaker @ work

While waiting for the GEL to melt, sand, shells, glass ornamentswick or whatever else is needed can be added to the bottom of your selected container. Wick can be fixed to the sustainers and set into the bottom. After the GEL is melted it is ready for pouring.
