Once I saw a fantastic gel candle that looked like an aquarium. The candle had been cast in a transparent glass container. The base of the candle had a sandy brown look to it. The center part was colored a light blue to give it a water like effect. It even had a metallic fish inside the candle! It was set off center so that it would not impede the burning of the candle.
Look for a kit that includes at least 5 pounds of gel wax, wicks with sustainers fixed to the bottom, three to four distinctive candle fragrance additives and at least one dye color.

The majority of commercially made candles are manufactured from paraffin wax. The wax is refined from crude oil. Paraffin candles generally tend to smoke and produce more soot specially if the candle has a high candle fragrance weight ratio or quite a bit of color dye in it.
