Thanks for the feedback--I thought they were neat too, I have a few in just plain stemware, but now I'm getting out the paints!! Just want to add a couple of things--one is to mix the salt in at the same time as the Knox. The other is that if you give them as gifts, please let the recepient know that they are not candles--people actually might try to put a wick in and burn them. Also, as with any "chemicals" Keep out of reach of children. Thanks--happy gelling!!!
