A method of manufacturing a gel candle having a non-metal core wick that stands upright and is not bent, wilted, or submerged in the gel candle body. In one aspect, the method includes providing a gel-forming liquid composition in a candle container having a longitudinal axis running therethrough, the gel-forming liquid composition having an average temperature of between about 195.degree. F. and about 230.degree. F.; thereafter, inserting a wick-clip having a non-metal core wick into the composition in the container when the temperature of the composition substantially in the center of the container is between about 160.degree. F. and about 195.degree. F.; and drawing the wick-clip through the composition and positioning the wick-clip in the container using a magnetic material. After the positioning step, the non-metal core wick is substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the container. In another aspect, the method can further include cooling the composition in the container. In yet another aspect, the wick-clip having a non-metal core wick is inserted into and drawn through the composition in the container before the composition in the container begins to transform into a gel. In still another aspect, the method may additionally comprise placing a guide on the container to help guide the non-metal core wick through the gel-forming liquid composition when the wick is inserted during the inserting step.

1. A method of manufacturing a gel candle having a non-metal core wick, comprising the steps of:providing a gel-forming liquid composition in an open-ended candle container having a base and a longitudinal axis running from the base to the opening of the container;: disposing a magnetic material substantially adjacent to the base of the container; inserting a wick-clip having a non-metal core wick into the composition in the container before the composition in the container begins: to transform into a gel state; and drawing the wick-clip through the composition toward the base of the container using the magnetic material, wherein, after said drawing step, the non-metal core wick is substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the container.
