This is the newest craze in candlemaking. The little polymer crystals will hold up to 400 times its weight in water. Just add 1 level teaspoon of crystals to 7 oz. of warm distilled water, a few drops of water based liquid dye, and approximately 1 tablespoon of fragrance, wait a few minutes for the mixture to absorb and you have a sparkly room freshener, with NO MELTING! This is perfect for the individual that cannot tolerate a burning candle, hospitals and nursing homes.
