Gel candle and method of making

A method of making a gel candle wherein said gel candle comprises a substantially transparent container having a bottom and a side wall defining a cavity and a top rim delimited by said side wall, a wick disposed in said container and multiple layers of gel material disposed in said container, at least one of said layers encompassing said wick and selected ones of said multiple layers having distributed throughout gas bubbles of different densities of distribution in each of said selected layers producing a visual effect, said method comprising the steps of:

• heating separate quantities of said gel material to a pourable state, respectively, and to selected temperatures to vary the density of distribution of said bubbles in said selected layers;
• pouring a first layer of gel material into said container disposed in a predetermined position;
• allowing said first layer to cool to substantially solidify said first layer;
• and
• pouring at least a second layer of gel material into said container to form said multiple layers, at least one of said first and second layers having bubbles distributed therein of a predetermined density of distribution.

A method of making a gel candle wherein said gel candle comprises a substantially transparent container having a bottom and a side wall defining a cavity and a top rim delimited by said side wall, a wick disposed in said container and multiple layers of gel material disposed in said container, at least one of said layers encompassing said wick and at least one of said layers having distributed throughout at least one of plural and distributed gas bubbles and particulates producing a visual effect, said method comprising the steps of:

• heating separate quantities of said gel material to a pourable state, respectively;
• orienting said container in one direction prior to pouring a first layer of gel material;
• pouring a first layer of gel material into said container while said container is disposed in said one direction;
• allowing said first layer to cool to substantially solidify said first layer;
• orienting said container in a second direction prior to pouring a second layer of gel material into said container;
• and
• pouring a second layer of gel material into said container to form said plural layers.

A gel candle comprising:

• a substantially transparent container having a bottom and a sidewall defining a cavity and a top rim delimited by said sidewall;
• a wick disposed in said container;
• and
• multiple layers of gel material disposed in said container comprising first and second layers opposed to each other in said container and a third layer interposed said first and second layers and contiguous with said first and second layers at opposed inclined interfaces, at least a portion of said third layer encompassing said wick.

A gel candle comprising:

• a substantially transparent container having a bottom and a sidewall defining a cavity and a top rim delimited by said sidewall;
• a wick disposed in said container;
• and
• multiple layers of gel material disposed in said container, at least one of said layers encompassing at least part of said wick, a first layer extending across a major portion of said bottom of said container and forming a generally planar inclined interface with at least a second layer, said second layer having a top surface generally parallel to said bottom of said container.
