How safe are Gel Candles?
Gel Candles are safe. Despite any urbans legends (myths) that might have been started by others in the industry. *HOWEVER* Gel Candles do require a certain degree of precaution and safety measures. All gel candles should always have warning labels. (Kewl Candle Factory sells these labels.) As with any candles they should be kept away from flammable items and away from pets and children. The wick should be kept trimmed to 1/8″ to 1/4″. Discontinue use when gel reaches the last 1″. (Never burn a gel candle all the way down). Remove enbeds as they emerge from a cooled candle. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of direct sunlight and heat. Burn candle on a level, protected, surface.
