| Hi,
Is there a way to clean the dusty top of a gel candle? The dust won't wipe or rinse off. Candle has never been burned. (I am not a candle maker, so I really don't know how gel reacts.) Can I scrape it off with a razor blade? or Melt the very top of candle and pour it off? Or is there some cleaner I can use? This was a gift and I would like to salvage it somehow, but the top looks pretty bad. Underneath it is perfect. Thank you for your help! |

| I'm thinking you could scrape it. I'd use a plastic spoon. Although, I don't know nothin about Gel candles...I'll ask at my candle forum..we've got a few "gellers" there. |

| Here is the first reply. Take a soft cloth I usually use an old t-shirt and mineral oil gently wipe it. It will leave lines in the gel but in a few hour a day at the most those will disappear. |
