SUMMARY- This book covers a wide range of basic processes, and I did not read all of them. Those I did read, I found myself asking basic questions that were not answered(or not well). I got excited when I saw it offered instruction on how to make your own candle gel - but the instructions were less than helpful. I'm sure I can hunt down whatever resin CP9000 is - but there was no explanation in this book, nor where to find it, or any of the problems that might occur in the process. If you're going to write a book for beginners, you have to assume they know nothing, and give clear detail of every step. I found this book mildly disappointing in that department. But you get a lot of variety of projects to go with the basics section, and there are some great ideas to draw from if you already have a good idea of what you're doing.
